Background / History

Bear Monarch is the chief of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear clan, a 480,000-year soul beast ranked sixth among the Ten Ferocious Beasts. He awakened in the Star Dou Great Forest after Chen Ping'an allowed Zhu Zhuqing to claim the Soul Ring of a 23,000-year member of his clan. 26 28

Seeking vengeance, Bear Monarch confronted Chen Ping'an near a lake. His Dark Gold Terror Claws were deflected by the Immortal Slaying Sword, and Chen Ping'an's Immortal Slaying Domain doubled his attack power. Bear Monarch entered a berserk state, used Sky Tearing Claw to rip open the domain, and fled to the forest's core region rather than continue the losing battle. 29

After Chen Ping'an followed him to the Lake of Life, Bear Monarch initially declared that he would never betray his kin. However, witnessing Chen Ping'an's Twin Martial Souls and eighteen blood-red Soul Rings, he chose submission before Chen Ping'an could unleash a Soul Skill. Chen Ping'an then concealed his soul beast aura and brought Bear Monarch and Bi Ji into human society. 30

At Skywater Academy, Bear Monarch guided the Skywater Team's cultivation, raising every member's Soul Power by one level. The attention and prosperity of Heaven Dou City also made him increasingly appreciative of the human world. 32

Appearance

In his true form, Bear Monarch is an enormous dark-gold-furred bear whose physical power is centered on his oversized claws and arms. He can also assume a human form. 28 30

• Stands roughly fifteen meters tall in beast form. 28
• Has dense, thick dark-golden fur and shoulders built with hill-like muscles. 28
• His arms extend past his knees and are over ten meters long. 28
• Possesses immense Dark Gold Terror Claws capable of tearing space. 28 29

Personality

Bear Monarch is fiercely protective of his clan and initially rejects subservience outright, declaring that he would not betray his kin. His defiance gives way to pragmatism when faced with an opponent he recognizes he cannot defeat. 29 30

After joining Chen Ping'an, he becomes loyal to his fellow soul beasts and Skywater Academy's students. He readily intervenes against threats, particularly those targeting Bi Ji or the students under his protection. 52 56 74

He also enjoys combat, admiration, and the comforts of human civilization. The attention he receives at Skywater Academy leaves him deeply satisfied, while Heaven Dou City's prosperity makes him regret having spent so long isolated in the forest. 32 52

Abilities & Skills

Dark Gold Terror Claws

Bear Monarch's primary weapons are his massive claws, which possess exceptional offensive power.

• His claws can tear open space and create black cracks in the air. 28 29
• A direct clash with Chen Ping'an's sword aura left a deep injury on his paw. 29
• His claw pressure can immobilize opponents before impact, preventing Ghost Leopard Douluo from using his Martial Soul Avatar. 56

Berserk State

Bear Monarch can enlarge his body, thicken his fur, rapidly heal injuries, and substantially increase his strength.

• He used this state to escape the Immortal Slaying Domain after being wounded by Chen Ping'an. 29
• His berserk form was powerful enough that even Rank 99 Qian Daoliu would need to avoid it. 61
• The transformation does not bridge the gap against a Level 100 Pseudo God; Xue Yuanzheng blocked his full-force attack and injured him. 74

Sky Tearing Claw

Sky Tearing Claw is Bear Monarch's strongest documented attack.

• It tears through space with dark-gold claw blades reaching roughly one hundred meters in length. 29 61
• It broke open Chen Ping'an's Immortal Slaying Domain, allowing Bear Monarch to retreat. 29
• It severely wounded Bibi Dong despite a blood-red defensive light blocking part of the attack. 61
• Xue Yuanzheng's Ice Shield completely stopped the technique. 74

Super Douluo Disguise

Chen Ping'an conceals Bear Monarch's soul beast aura, allowing him to pass as a human Super Douluo.

• He appears to possess Level 97 Super Douluo strength, though his actual combat power can rival a Peerless Douluo. 30
• Chen Ping'an provided him with virtual Soul Rings: two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red, including three 100,000-year rings. 52 56

Relationships

• Chen Ping'an — Master. Bear Monarch submits after losing their confrontation and later serves as one of Chen Ping'an's principal combatants. 29 30
• Bi Ji — Fellow ferocious beast and companion. Bi Ji treated his wounds after his first battle with Chen Ping'an; Bear Monarch later pleaded for Chen Ping'an to spare her and defended her during the siege of Skywater Academy. 29 30 74
• Skywater Team — Mentor and protector. His cultivation guidance raised the team's Soul Power, and he later protects Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan, and other students from Spirit Hall. 32 56
• Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear clan — His kin. He sought revenge after Chen Ping'an's group killed a 23,000-year member of the clan for Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Ring. 26 28
• Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo — Spirit Hall opponents. Bear Monarch nearly defeated Chrysanthemum Douluo alone before their Two Extremes Stillness Domain temporarily restrained him. 52 53
• Xue Yuanzheng — Level 100 Pseudo God enemy. Bear Monarch fought him to enable Bi Ji and the other soul beasts to retreat. 74
