Appearance

• True form: An enormous, furry Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear king. A colossal dark-gold bear phantom briefly appears behind him when he releases his power 5 8.
• Human form: A burly man over two meters tall, with golden hair, a golden beard, broad shoulders, and heavily corded muscles 5 8.
• Eyes: Dark gold, with slit pupils and an oppressive, predatory gaze 5 8.
• Combat form: Can enlarge into a towering humanoid giant—his strongest form without revealing his true body 17.

Personality

Xiong Jun is loud, boastful, and quick to provoke others. He mocks Di Tian in front of their sovereign, but retreats when Di Tian threatens him. Lou Xu’s demand for Di Tian’s death delights him, both because it embarrasses Di Tian and because he admires the boy’s nerve 2 3.

His protection of Lou Xu combines obedience with genuine personal liking. He accepts the Silver Dragon King’s assignment despite his initial surprise, follows Lou Xu’s instructions during confrontations, and dismisses Lou Gao’s thanks by saying that Lou Xu suits his taste 5 8 9.

He is brutal toward enemies and contemptuous of soul beasts who choose human transformation. He initially treats Xiao Wu as food or a future soul ring, and later recommends beating her into obedience rather than reasoning with her. Nevertheless, he accepts Lou Xu’s decision to spare her and eventually conceals her soul-beast aura during their visit to the Star Luo palace 6 7 15 24.

Human politics bore him. He prefers wine and meat to formal gratitude, lounges through discussions of imperial rewards, and eats heartily during the emperor’s audience 9 10 15 16.

Abilities & Skills

Strength and Durability

Xiong Jun’s established strength far exceeds the Soul Douluos and Tang Hao encountered in the supplied chapters; no cultivation advancement is documented.

Assessment / Feat	Details
Lou Xu’s initial assessment	Comparable to a level-98 Super Douluo, with combat prowess capable of piercing Di Tian’s defenses and injuring him 5.
Lou Xu’s later reassurance	Described as at least equivalent to a level-97 Peak Douluo, with combat strength comparable to a Limit Douluo 6.
Third Offering	Overpowers a rank-87 Soul Douluo’s Flying Tiger Avatar, tears off his arm, and kills him by removing his heart 8.
Tang Hao	Takes a direct strike from Clear Sky True Body with only a shallow chest mark, then overwhelms Tang Hao’s ultimate attacks 18.
Tai Tan	Stops the Great Strength Gorilla Avatar with one hand and kills Tai Tan with a claw strike 21.

Dark Gold Dreadclaw

• Manifests metallic claws from both hands for close-range attacks 17.
• Gathers vast soul power along the claw edges to clash directly with Tang Hao’s Clear Sky True Body 17.
• Raises his presence despite the suppressive effect of Tang Hao’s Slaughter Domain 17.

Sky-Rending Claw

• Compresses dark-gold soul power at his claw tips and releases a thin cutting line that rends space 18.
• Overcomes Tang Hao’s Great Sumeru Hammer and detonation of all nine soul rings 18.
• Shatters the Clear Sky Hammer and leaves Tang Hao mortally wounded; Xiong Jun’s own claw suffers only a faint scar 18.

Spiritual Perception and Intimidation

• Searches the Star Dou Great Forest with spiritual power while carrying Lou Xu through the air 5.
• Detects Xiao Wu hiding nearby and identifies her transformed Soft Bone Rabbit nature 5 6.
• Senses the plant-type soul beast concealed within the cliff near Holy Soul Village 23.
• Notices Tang San studying Lou Xu’s eyes, throat, and heart as vulnerable points 24.
• His released pressure silences everything within ten li during the confrontation with the Third Offering 8.
• Answers Gu Rong’s spiritual probe with a terrifying impression of surrounding beasts and an unstoppable claw, discouraging further probing 25.

Transformation, Flight, and Concealment

• Assumes human form without changing his soul-beast species or bloodline; this differs from Xiao Wu’s chosen human transformation 5 6.
• Flies while carrying Lou Xu and remains suspended in midair during combat 5 18.
• Conceals Xiao Wu’s soul-beast aura before entering the Star Luo palace 15.
• External protection: The Silver Dragon King places divine power on him to conceal his own aura, preventing Lou Gao from gauging his strength. This concealment comes from her, not from a demonstrated independent technique of Xiong Jun’s 5 6.

Soul-Beast Knowledge

• Recognizes the weakened Blue Silver Emperor in Ah Yin’s cave 23.
• Explains that if Ah Yin dies, another emperor would probably emerge among the Blue Silver Kings; he rejects the idea of using her seed to cultivate a new hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor and suggests consulting the Myriad Demon King 24.

Relationships

• Silver Dragon King — Sovereign and commander. He respectfully obeys her order to protect Lou Xu and visibly shudders at her warning against letting him come to harm 5.
• Lou Xu — Protected charge whom he personally likes. Accepts the nickname “Big Bear,” obeys his combat instructions, and intervenes against those who threaten him 3 5 8 9 21.
• Lou Gao — Treats him as the grandfather of his charge. Lou Gao offers to provide for his needs and later honors him through Dark Gold Square 5 9 22.
• Di Tian — Fellow subordinate whom he enjoys provoking. His bravado falters when Di Tian threatens him, but he eagerly laughs at Lou Xu’s challenge to Di Tian 2 3.
• Xiao Wu — Initially prey and a potential soul ring; later a traveling companion spared at Lou Xu’s request. She remains afraid of him, although he helps conceal her identity in the human world 6 7 11 15.
• Tang Hao — Enemy who raids the Blacksmith Association. Xiong Jun defeats him and hands him over to Lou Xu; finding three bear-derived soul bones among Tang Hao’s remains deepens his anger toward the Clear Sky Sect 17 18 20.
• Tang San — Regards his scrutiny of Lou Xu’s weak points as suspicious and warns Lou Xu afterward 24.
• Gu Rong — Discourages his spiritual probing through silent intimidation, leaving him unwilling to intervene during Ning Fengzhi’s negotiations 25.
