Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing was born into the Zhu Clan, one of Star Luo Empire's two great families. The Zhu and Dai Clans maintain marriage alliances, and she was betrothed to Dai Mubai as part of their succession system. Candidates are raised as rivals: the victor may inherit, while the losers are “erased,” making the competition a struggle for survival rather than status alone. 80 191

She initially hoped Dai Mubai could inherit and ensure her survival, but came to reject a life dependent on him. After a conversation with Chu Fan, she resolves to pursue freedom and live by her own choices. 80

After arriving in Suotuo City, she becomes one of Fanyun Academy's four students under its founder, Chu Fan. His targeted combat training develops her speed, strength, confidence, and tactical judgment. 80 84

During the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Zhu Zhuqing reveals the stakes behind facing Star Luo Royal Academy and confronts her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun. Later, after Dai Weisi's death, Zhu Zhuyun begs Zhu Zhuqing for mercy; Zhu Zhuqing spares her on the condition that she leaves. 191 193 222

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a fair-skinned girl with long black hair, a cold expression, and dark eyes. She generally wears fitted black clothing and carries an aloof, deathly chill that contrasts with her beauty. 71 84 163

• During Martial Soul Possession, her left eye turns dark green and her right eye clear blue. 84
• Feline ears and sharp retractable claws manifest while using her Hell Spirit Cat power. 84 158
• Her combat movements are described as those of a black cat or wildcat: low, fast, and difficult to track. 84 163

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is initially cold, restrained, and distrustful, traits shaped by both her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul and a childhood lived under familial pressure. 62 80 Beneath that reserve, she longs for warmth, freedom, and a life that belongs to her rather than her clan. 80

She is determined and unusually pain-tolerant, refusing to retreat from dangerous fights or the agony of absorbing an overwhelming Hundred Thousand Year spirit ring. 160 307 In battle, she is observant and decisive, prioritizing enemy support Soul Masters and adapting her approach when opponents can anticipate her actions. 163 354

Her growth also includes compassion. She spares Zhu Zhuyun despite their deadly family rivalry, and captures Xiaobai rather than killing her to complete the Ring Sea trial. 222 325

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul

Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul is the Hell Spirit Cat, an agility-focused martial soul suited to rapid movement, ambushes, and claw-based attacks. 71 84

• Enhances her mobility and lets her fight with feline claws. 84
• Her speed becomes difficult for opponents to follow after sustained training. 84 163
• Her fighting style emphasizes entering blind spots, rapidly changing direction, and striking before opponents can react. 84 163

Hell Stab

Her first soul skill doubles her speed while allowing an abrupt midair directional change for a diagonal claw strike. 84 127

• Used to evade direct attacks and close distance instantly. 127
• Can strike fast-moving targets such as the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. 113
• Its effectiveness depends on successfully reaching the opponent before they can respond. 84

Nether Slash

Her third soul skill combines her claw blades into a single larger cutting edge and releases a powerful downward slash. 160

• Kills the Ghost Tiger during her fourth-ring hunt. 160
• Can split massive incoming waves during the Sea God Trial. 309
• Provides concentrated cutting power rather than her usual rapid multi-hit offense. 160

Shadow Techniques

Zhu Zhuqing uses several shadow-based movement and clone techniques to confuse opponents and extend her attack chains.

• Netherworld Clone / Netherworld Shadow Doppelganger — creates multiple figures to misdirect enemies and open a path to priority targets. 163 354
• Netherworld Transformation — turns her movement into a smoke-like black-cat form that skims across the sea surface. 354
• Netherworld Shadow Linkage — produces nine connected afterimages; each is ten percent weaker than the last, but once the true body lands a hit, the follow-up attacks cannot be evaded. 354

Teleportation and Elemental Techniques

Later in her Sea God Island trials, Zhu Zhuqing displays additional mobility, ice, and fire-based techniques. 324 325 353

• Teleportation — moves her roughly ten meters instantly underwater. 324
• Shark's Tooth — freezes and captures Xiaobai, the King of Soul Sharks, without killing her. 325
• Fire-element sword attacks — channels fire through a crimson sword, launching wide flame blades and repeated flaming sword strikes. 353

Combat Judgment and Endurance

Zhu Zhuqing has developed a disciplined tactical approach through combat training and repeated team battles. 84 163

• Targets support Soul Masters first to disrupt enemy formations. 163
• Coordinates effectively with Ning Rongrong's amplification skills. 163 193
• Withstands extreme pain during high-level spirit-ring absorption through willpower and the physical improvements granted by the Narcissus Ice Muscle Bone. 151 307

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Claw Soul Tool — a claw-based Soul Tool designed by Chu Fan that can multiply Zhu Zhuqing's strength tenfold. 86
• Crimson sword — used to channel and launch her fire-element attacks against Sea Witch. 353
• Narcissus Ice Muscle Bone — Immortal Herb given by Chu Fan to nourish her tendons and bones and improve her physical foundation. 151
• God-bestowed Spirit Ring — awarded after completing the Black-level Fifth Trial. 355

Relationships

• Chu Fan — Mentor, protector, and love interest. He helps her reject her predetermined fate, trains her combat skills, obtains spirit rings for her, and heals her during her sixth-ring absorption. Zhu Zhuqing comes to regard him as her light and confesses her feelings while affected by aphrodisiac poison. 80 84 123 158 307
• Ning Rongrong — Teammate and close companion. They comfort one another, cultivate together, and coordinate in battle through Ning Rongrong's support skills. 79 146 163 354
• Xiao Wu — Fellow Fanyun Academy student and companion. They support Ning Rongrong together and guard the group's flanks in the Star Dou Great Forest. 79 112
• Dai Mubai — Her arranged fiancé and fellow succession candidate. Zhu Zhuqing becomes deeply disappointed in him after recognizing that relying on his inheritance would leave her a puppet. 80 191
• Zhu Zhuyun — Elder sister and succession rival. They clash during the Star Luo Royal Academy match, but Zhu Zhuqing later spares her and orders her to leave. 193 222
• Sea Witch — Sea Witch Saint Pillar guardian and opponent in Zhu Zhuqing's fifth Black-level trial. Zhu Zhuqing defeats her through coordinated strategy with Ning Rongrong and Hu Liena. 353 354
