Background

Zhu Zhuqing was born into the Star Luo Empire’s Netherworld Zhu Family and became entangled in its marriage alliance with the White Tiger Dai Family. Her family’s cold traditions demanded that she compete against her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun, while being betrothed to Dai Mubai. 30 64

While fleeing toward Suotuo City, she was hunted by Death Warriors sent by Zhu Zhuyun. Exhausted and out of Soul Power, Zhuqing still attempted one final resistance rather than surrendering; Xia Tianling intervened before the pursuing Soul Ancestor could seize her. 28

She initially declined Xia Tianling’s invitation to Spirit Hall Academy because she intended to study elsewhere. After discovering Dai Mubai had abandoned his responsibilities and indulged himself in Suotuo City, she rejected him and chose to join Xia Tianling’s group to become stronger. 30 34

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing has a cold, composed presence that contrasts with her increasingly expressive reactions around people she trusts. During Martial Soul Possession, she takes on a cat-like form suited to stealth and high-speed combat. 28 121

• Cat ears and a balancing tail emerge during Martial Soul Possession. 73
• Her possessed form grants more slender legs, enhanced speed, and an elusive, shadow-like silhouette. 43 73
• After consuming two Immortal Grade herbs, her Hell Spirit Cat form develops deep-blue and dark-red stripes. 165
• She later gains two external cat tails—one black and one white—which amplify her spatial ability and speed. 197 292
• Her combat attire includes black armor, the Little Nether Set, and the Battle Armor Darkness Dawn. 121 135 432

Personality

Zhuqing was initially quiet, guarded, and slow to trust others due to the ruthless environment in which she was raised. Though outwardly cold, she is highly disciplined and driven by a refusal to accept the fate imposed on her by her family. 64

Her diligence is exceptional: she trains in secret, meditates instead of sleeping, and repeatedly chooses to consolidate her foundation rather than pursue rapid but unstable advancement. 64 72 291

After joining Spirit Hall Academy, Zhuqing gradually becomes more open with her teammates. Her trust in Xia Tianling develops first and most completely, while her confidence grows enough for her to openly defy her family’s marriage arrangement. 64 290 349

Her usual combat style is calm, efficient, and assassination-oriented. However, threats to Xia Tianling or her unresolved hatred toward Zhu Zhuyun and the Dai family can drive her into a reckless, overwhelmingly aggressive state. 294 531

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul

Zhuqing’s original Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul evolves through the Assassin’s inheritance, Immortal Grade herbs, and high-quality spirit bones.

• Possesses space, thunder, and darkness attributes after its evolution. 293
• Grants extreme speed, agility, close-combat ability, and stealth-oriented movement. 43 293
• Her enhanced Martial Soul quality suppresses Zhu Zhuyun’s original Hell Spirit Cat in their direct confrontation. 293
• Her Martial Soul Avatar can be paired with domains and soul-bone abilities for high-pressure combat. 460

Assassin’s Blade and Assassin’s Claws

Xia Tianling gave Zhuqing the Assassin’s Blade, a weakened inherited divine artifact containing the cultivation insights of an assassin. It functions similarly to a Second Martial Soul but cannot receive spirit rings. 37

• Has no fixed form; it can become a dagger, claws, or even a large blade. 37
• Its attacks ignore conventional defenses; only physical toughness or a direct counterattack can resist its damage. 37
• Assassin’s Claws enable her to penetrate defensive skills and armor with Netherworld Hundred Claws. 43
• The artifact consumes immense energy, forcing Zhuqing to favor decisive, single-strike kills over prolonged exchanges. 135

Void Walking

Void Walking allows Zhuqing to enter the void or subspace, evading attacks and repositioning without leaving a target for her opponent.

• At first, she could remain in the void for only one or two seconds. 43
• Allowed her to evade Ye Lan’s aerial wind blades and frustrate her inside the Soul Fighting Arena. 73 74
• Later renders her untargetable while active, making direct attacks against her extremely difficult. 490
• Combines with Netherworld Sever to enable near-silent assassination strikes. 193

Offensive Soul Skills

• Hell Stab — A high-speed claw strike used in close combat; Zhuqing used three lightning-wreathed Hell Stabs to destroy the Hell White Tiger’s claw. 294
• Netherworld Hundred Claws — Concentrates more than one hundred attacks on a single point, allowing her to pierce defenses and severely damage stronger opponents. 43
• Netherworld Sever — Her strongest finishing strike, combining speed, accumulated force, Soul Power, and intent into a destructive blade attack. 193 294
• Netherworld Possession — A sixty-thousand-year sixth soul skill that increases her attack and agility by 100%. 369
• Dark Body — Her eighth soul skill; enhances all attributes and her affinity with darkness. 460

Dark God Realm

The Dark Sky-Rending Beast Torso Bone grants Zhuqing the domain-type skill Dark God Realm. 293

• Creates a one-hundred-meter darkness domain. 293
• Doubles her space and darkness attributes within the domain. 293
• Partially elementalizes her body and gives her brain and heart 90% immunity to external physical attacks. 293
• Reduces opponents’ senses and movement speed, making them vulnerable to her ambushes. 293

Asura Sword and Asura Domain

Zhuqing obtains the true Asura Sword, a Super Divine Artifact shaped like a Huaxia-style longsword rather than a greatsword. 387

• Wields the sword through extensive day-and-night tempering until it functions as an extension of her body. 502
• Uses the blood-red Asura Domain to conceal herself and launch attacks from unexpected angles. 460 490
• Can form multiple tangible sword-and-cat phantoms that are not illusions and cannot be dispelled by techniques designed to see through illusions. 490
• Can manifest blood-red Asura God Armor in battle. 531

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Assassin’s Blade — Inherited divine artifact and foundation of her assassin-style combat. 37
• Heart Protection Armor — Thousand-forged tungsten-steel half armor made by Xia Tianling; provides Dragon Might that improves her physical abilities and soul-skill effects. 121
• Little Nether Set — Armor set that improves her agility and spatial movement. 135
• Phoenix Ring — A Dragon Phoenix Sumeru Mustard Seed Qiankun Storage Ring gifted by Xia Tianling. 182
• Dark Sky-Rending Beast Torso Bone — Hundred-thousand-year-class torso bone fused through a Spirit Bone Fusion Card; grants Dark God Realm. 237 293
• Thunder Shadow Mirror Flash Leopard External Soul Bone — Gives her two tails and enhances her spatial ability, speed, and thunder affinity. 197 294
• Asura Sword — Super Divine Artifact associated with her Asura God path. 387
• Darkness Dawn — Her third-level, three-word Battle Armor, built around space and darkness with thunder as support. 432

Relationships

• Xia Tianling — Savior, mentor, partner, and fiancé. Zhuqing trusts him more completely than anyone else; she accepted his proposal after he presented the Lovesick Heartbreak Red as proof of his feelings. 64 309
• Zhu Zhuyun — Elder sister and former persecutor. Zhu Zhuyun sent Death Warriors after Zhuqing, but Zhuqing later defeated her during the Continental Tournament. 28 293
• Dai Mubai — Former fiancé. Zhuqing rejected him after learning he had abandoned his responsibilities and later publicly refused to marry him. 34 349
• Sword Douluo (Chen Xin) — Mentor. He recognized Zhuqing’s potential, offered to accept her as a disciple, and remained proud of her diligence. 135 237
• Ning Rongrong — Teammate and friend who publicly defended Zhuqing against Zhu Zhuyun. 292
• Oscar and Ma Hongjun — Spirit Hall teammates who became trusted partners through shared training and dangerous experiences. 64 291
• Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan — Teammates in the Spirit Battle Team; Zhuqing gradually learned to trust them as companions. 64 291
• Fulu — Partner in managing the City of Slaughter and distributing Divine Slaughter’s Domain to Spirit Hall members. 434

Story Role / Major Arcs

Escape from the Netherworld Family

Zhuqing flees the Star Luo Empire while pursued by Zhu Zhuyun’s Death Warriors. Xia Tianling rescues her at the point of capture, travels with her to Suotuo City, and eventually convinces her to begin a new path at Spirit Hall Academy. 28 30 34

Assassin Training and Soul Fighting Arena

Xia Tianling introduces Zhuqing to the Assassin’s Blade and teaches her that an Agility Attack System Soul Master should operate as an assassin rather than fight head-on. She develops Void Walking and Assassin’s Claws, then defeats the stronger Ye Lan in her first Soul Fighting Arena match as Void Walker. 37 43 74

Growth at Spirit Hall Academy

Zhuqing trains in Spiritual Power, secretly uses the Gravity Chamber, and becomes increasingly integrated with Xia Tianling’s team. Her determination and discipline enable her to close the gap with more naturally advantaged peers. 59 64 72

Immortal-Herb Transformation

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Zhuqing undergoes Ice-Fire Golden Body Tempering. She reaches Level 40, becomes immune to poisons, gains resistance to water and fire, and evolves her Martial Soul. 165

Sword Douluo’s Disciple

Sword Douluo offers to accept Zhuqing as his disciple after observing her progress in agility and offense. Xia Tianling encourages the arrangement because Sword Douluo’s path of overwhelming offense complements her own pursuit of lethal single-strike attacks. 135 157

Continental Tournament and Family Defiance

Zhuqing confronts Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. She breaks through to Spirit King at fourteen, overwhelms her sister, and defeats the Soul Emperor-level Hell White Tiger formed by Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi. 292 293 294

She later openly rejects her marriage to Dai Mubai before the Star Luo Emperor, breaking from the family fate imposed upon her. 349

Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Self-Produced Spirit Ring

After accepting Xia Tianling’s proposal, Zhuqing consumes the Divine Grade Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Its power strengthens her body and Martial Soul, then combines with the Dark Sky-Rending Beast Spine Bone’s energy to form an unprecedented pink Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. 309 319

Asura God Path

Zhuqing enters the City of Slaughter and Hell Road with Xia Tianling, gains the Asura Sword, and advances through the Asura God Trials. She eventually controls the City of Slaughter alongside Fulu and completes two of her three Asura God Trials. 383 387 434

Sea God Island Trials and Later Battles

Zhuqing cooperates with Xia Tianling to defeat Bo Saixi during their joint top-tier sixth trial, earning a fifty-thousand-year increase to all of their spirit-ring lifespans. 476

By the time she reaches Level 93, Zhuqing is a Nether Douluo capable of challenging Tang San directly through Void Walking, Asura Domain concealment, and lethal close-range sword attacks. 489 490
