== Biography ==
Junjie grew up in the distant Eastern Caverns, an isolated region completely unknown to the 99 caverns that Eli protects. Junjie trained day and night, and prepared to become the Protector of his caverns. Like Eli, Junjie inherited the role of protector when he came of age. For centuries, his ancestors had used the ancient slugslinging art of Slug Fu to keep the Eastern Caverns safe. But one day, a threat came that even Slug Fu could not stop: an evil slug known as the Goon allied with the sinister Emperor. The Emperor defeated Junjie. Using the Goon, the Emperor twisted Junjie into a wretched human, and he was called during the period of his corruption the Dark Slinger. He served the Emperor for twenty years as the Dark Slinger, and wreaked havoc upon the Eastern Caverns. He helped the Emperor in gaining as many slugs as possible, so that the Emperor may sue them for his sinister plot. The Goon then sent Junjie on a mission to enter the 99 Caverns, and find their champion - Eli. He opened a terraportal using the energy of the Fandango, and entered the 99 Caverns. The Goon then ceased controlling Junjie and corrupted Eli, and twisted him into his loyal servant, but the Shane Gang cured him using Doc. Junjie then helped the Shane Gang to fight the Goon, Blakk and the evil forces from the Deep Caverns. Then, Jun entered into a portal that led to the Eastern Caverns, and fought the Emperor. The Eastern Champion returned to save the Eastern Caverns, and defeat the Emperor, and he did. After returning harmony and peace to the Eastern Caverns, he remained there as The Eastern Champion of the time, and continued to defend his caverns.

== Trivia ==
* Junjie is a master of the mysterious art of Slug Fu.
** Slug Fu is actually derived from "Sky Fu" in Storm Hawks and Chinese Kung Fu.
** Slug Fu is used to synchronize a slinger and a slug/ghoul and let the slingers control the slug/ghoul and guide them in any direction of their choosing.
** Slug Fu is also capable of stopping a slug/ghoul while in velocity.
* His blasters are similar to Dana's and Stocker's blasters.
* He mentioned he had been riding on Joo-Joo since he was 5 years old.
* He can speak Shadow Clan.
* In A Distant Shore when Burpy is slung, Gar Revelle mentions that only one person has such a specimen, but in Ghoul from Beyond Junjie debuts with an Infurnus of his own.
** This is because Gar has never seen The Eastern Caverns before.
* Although Junjie might come off as the most experienced slinger in the Shane Gang and knows Slug Fu, making him one of the greatest slingers in history, he had never heard of or seen the Darkbane before the events in Return of the Elementals.
* As interesting as it is, Junjie seems to know how to speak Mandarin, as he was shouting orders to his slugs (when dueling Eli in the earlier part of Return of the Elementals) in what sounded like Mandarin. But actually, he was speaking Cantonese.
* Junjie so far appears in one slugisode Smile! however does not speak.
* His Mecha Beast is an LK-E model like Eli's, but blue.
* In Slugterra: Eastern Caverns, even though he isn't the "Dark Slinger", the Emperor still kept on calling him that. The Emperor only used Junjie's real name once.
* His name "Junjie" means "handsome hero" in Mandarin.
* When disguised himself as an Underlord in Slugterra: Eastern Caverns, Eli gave the alias "Underlord Junebug" to Junjie. Junebug is a beetle found in North America.
* Junjie is technically (at least) 35 years old. Assuming that he was 15 when he became the Easteren Champion, and then he spent 20 years as the Dark Slinger.
