Background
Zhu Zhuqing came from a noble family that had intermarried with the Star Luo Imperial Family for generations. Her family arranged her engagement to the third prince, Dai Mubai, as part of a succession struggle against Dai Weisi and her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun 34 41.
She cultivated from the age of six in the hope that she and Dai Mubai could survive the struggle together. After he fled the empire, she faced the threat of death or imprisonment and the loss of her cultivation. She left Star Luo City to find another way to grow strong 31 34.
Appearance
Zhu Zhuqing is a black-haired young woman with a striking figure and a frequently cold expression 33 37 39.
- Hair: Black 37.
- Build: Curvaceous 34 39.
- Martial Soul features: Manifests sharp cat claws when fighting 37 42.
Personality
Zhu Zhuqing is determined to survive and rejects the fate imposed on her by her family. Although Shrek Academy’s reputation initially persuaded her to investigate it, its shabby grounds and students’ conduct led her to question its claims rather than rely on it blindly 31 32.
She can appear aloof and speaks coldly to strangers, but becomes openly affectionate and grateful toward Tang Feng. She is also perceptive enough to see through his attempt to frighten her by pretending to be a pervert 33 39. Despite her willingness to fight, the bloody aftermath of a team Soul Fight leaves her horrified 37.
Abilities & Skills
Nether Civet Martial Soul
Zhu Zhuqing’s cat-type Martial Soul supports a fast, close-range fighting style using claws 41 42.
- Hell Stab: Her first Soul Skill doubles her claw length and speed. She used it to force Meiying to surrender 37.
- Third Soul Skill: Provides a speed boost; she combined it with her first skill and Soru against Dai Mubai 42.
- Mental-skill evasion: She learned to evade a visual Charm by blinking. The technique is suited to opponents at her level or weaker; using it against a stronger Soul Master leaves her vulnerable 37.
Six Powers
Tang Feng taught Zhu Zhuqing the basics of the Six Powers, using his Tsukuyomi world to accelerate her combat training 37 38.
- Geppo: Allows her to move through the air.
- Soru: Provides instantaneous movement, which she combined with Soul Skill speed boosts against Dai Mubai.
- Shigan: Reinforces her fingers for piercing attacks.
- Rankyaku: Adds another means of attack 38 42.
Equipment & Items
- Catnip Ball fragment: Tang Feng gave her a fragment to smell or taste while cultivating. One afternoon’s cultivation produced a day’s usual progress; he cautioned her to use it in moderation 35.
- Storage Soul Guidance Ring: Used to store her clothes and Catnip fragment 35.
- Spirit Hall identity token: Tang Feng lent her his token, allowing her access to much of Spirit Hall 43.
- Soul Bones: Tang Feng gave her four limb bones, including bones from the Sky Azure Bull Python, Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Titan Giant Ape. She later gained a torso bone from Ice Bear King Xiaobai and a head bone from the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai; Tang Feng replaced her left leg bone with the Evil Orca King’s 58 66 67.
- God-bestowed Soul Ring: She received one on Sea God Island and later absorbed it as a 100,000-year seventh ring 66 67.
Relationships
- Tang Feng — Her mentor, teammate and romantic partner. He trained her, provided cultivation resources and brought her to Sea God Island 34 39 41 66.
- Dai Mubai — Her arranged fiancé, who fled the Star Luo Empire and left her facing their succession struggle. She killed him during a Soul Fight in Suotuo City 34 42.
- Zhu Zhuyun — Her elder sister and a rival in the Star Luo succession struggle 34 41.
- Ah Yin — Tang Feng’s mother. She welcomed Zhu Zhuqing, who addressed her as “Sister,” and asked Tang Feng to protect her 39.
- Qian Renxue — An acquaintance through Tang Feng. Zhu Zhuqing watched over her while she refined an Immortal Herb and waited beside her during her transformation 51 52 53.
- Bibi Dong — Offered to take Zhu Zhuqing as a disciple and make her a holy maiden; Zhu Zhuqing did not accept without Tang Feng’s permission 65.
Story Role
Shrek Academy and Tang Feng
Zhu Zhuqing traveled to Shrek Academy after hearing claims about an exceptionally young Titled Douluo among its graduates. In Suotuo City, she witnessed Tang Feng defeat Dai Mubai, abandoned her hopes for Shrek and approached Tang Feng for help becoming stronger 31 32 33.
Tang Feng offered to raise her strength rapidly, asking what she would give in return. Considering her threatened future in Star Luo, she chose to accept his offer 34.
Training and the Tiger-Slaying team
While traveling toward Sunset Forest, Zhu Zhuqing trained daily in Tang Feng’s Tsukuyomi world and fought in arenas. She defeated Meiying in Silves City and accumulated six wins without a loss before reaching the forest 37 38.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, she absorbed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and later acquired a Ghost Leopard Soul Ring. After three months of further training, she returned to Suotuo City with Tang Feng as the Tiger-Slaying team 39 41.
They faced Dai Mubai and Tang San’s Silver Tiger team. Zhu Zhuqing killed Dai Mubai while Tang Feng captured Tang San; Tang Feng then fled with her to Spirit City after sensing Tang Hao approaching 41 42. In Spirit City, she won twelve consecutive arena matches, attracting the attention of Bibi Dong and the Spirit Hall Golden Generation 43.
Sea God Island and ascension
Tang Feng brought Zhu Zhuqing to Sea God Island, where she received the Top-Tier Seven Trials. She completed the first four trials, gained several powerful Soul Rings and Soul Bones, and left with Tang Feng after he disclosed that he did not intend to inherit the Sea God’s godhood 66 67.
Zhu Zhuqing later inherited the Nether God’s godhood and ascended to Supreme Heaven 71.
