Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing was born into the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire and was tied to Dai Mubai's succession struggle. After Dai Mubai fled the empire, she traveled alone to find him, hoping to learn whether he had merely retreated temporarily or had truly abandoned their shared fate. Remaining in Star Luo also meant risking assassination by her older sister, Zhu Zhuyun. 4

On the road, Zhu Zhuqing defeated two Soul Grand Masters who tried to assault her. She left them unconscious rather than killing or reporting them, prompting her first tense exchange with Su Xing, who argued that allowing them to escape could endanger later victims. 4 After witnessing Su Xing kill the two men with his Railgun, she was shocked by its destructive power but was not disturbed by the violence itself. 5

At the Rose Hotel, she saw Dai Mubai openly accompanying twins and was enraged by the confirmation that he had been indulging himself while she faced danger in the Star Luo Empire. She nevertheless entered Shrek Academy and initially gave Dai Mubai an opportunity to change. 8 24 Her disappointment deepened when Su Xing, despite being ten soul-power levels below Dai Mubai and lacking spirit rings, thoroughly suppressed him in battle. 12

During the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai failed to overcome Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun's Hell White Tiger fusion. Though she refused to surrender, their defeat left her facing the prospect of returning to her family's judgment. 121 123 Su Xing found her crying after the loss and offered her a way out through Martial Soul Hall. She accepted his protection and pledged to follow his instructions. 123 124

Su Xing gave her his Ring Detonation theory, an Immortal Herb, and a cultivation path centered on speed, piercing power, clone techniques, and firearms. After the tournament, he declared her his disciple when Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun demanded her return. 124 129 136 Bibi Dong subsequently accepted Zhu Zhuqing into Martial Soul Hall and publicly resolved the threat of open action by the Star Luo Empire. 158

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is described as a striking young woman with a cold expression and a notably fiery figure. Her early outfit includes a ribbon-like decoration trailing behind her. 4 6

• Her Martial Soul manifests as the dark-furred Hell Spirit Cat. 4 129
• Following her Immortal Herb absorption, her Hell Spirit Cat becomes darker and more formidable in appearance. 129
• After training in Death Canyon, she develops a cold, sharp killing intent. 173

Personality

Initially, Zhu Zhuqing is cold, guarded, and exceptionally stubborn. She refuses to flee from the Star Luo succession conflict by choice and resents Dai Mubai for leaving her behind, even while hoping he has not truly given up. 4 She is decisive in combat and contemptuous toward weaker opponents who threaten her. 4

She is highly diligent and driven by a need to become stronger. Once she accepts Su Xing's cultivation theory, she studies it intensely, quickly grasps its principles, and willingly accepts the risks of adding another spirit ring and converting to Ring Detonation cultivation. 125 130

Zhu Zhuqing is deeply affected by the fear of becoming powerless or useless to Su Xing, which causes her to panic when she initially fails to control her soul power after Ring Detonation. 141 Over time, she becomes more open about her feelings, takes the initiative to seek a relationship beyond teacher and student, and grows increasingly ruthless through combat experience. 172 173

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat

Zhu Zhuqing possesses the Hell Spirit Cat, a top-tier agility-attack Martial Soul whose natural strengths are speed and a developing piercing attribute. 4 129

• Her Martial Soul's speed allows her to rapidly close distance and overwhelm slower opponents. 4
• An Immortal Herb strengthens her speed and piercing ability while granting her an aura-concealment trait. 129
• Su Xing's training focuses her combat style on extreme movement speed, reactions, evasion, and escape capability. 155

Spirit Skills

Her original spirit skills include Hell Stab, Hell Hundred Claws, and Hell Slash. 4 129

• Hell Stab — A piercing claw attack used to defeat the scarred Soul Grand Master. 4
• Hell Hundred Claws — A rapid claw assault used while pursuing and incapacitating her second attacker. 4
• Hell Slash — A crescent-shaped soul-power slash. Su Xing considers it redundant because comparable slashes can be created through ordinary soul-power control. 129
• After extensive clone training, her clones can deploy redeveloped spirit skills with refined timing and attack angles. 240

Phantom Clone

After absorbing a five-thousand-year Phantom Cat spirit ring, Zhu Zhuqing gains Phantom Clone. 141

• Initially creates two physical clones, each with sixty percent of her original strength. 141
• Damage to a clone is reflected onto her body at one percent of the original damage. 141
• She later manifests ten copies; each provides fifty percent cultivation feedback, allowing a fivefold cultivation rate. 190
• By level 72, she can create dozens of clones for simultaneous cultivation. 307
• In battle, she uses clones and afterimages to conceal her true body and overwhelm opponents with shifting attack angles. 240

Ring Detonation System

Zhu Zhuqing converts to Su Xing's Ring Detonation cultivation system under his guidance. 141 155

• She detonates her spirit rings to remove their restrictions and gain smoother control over her own soul power. 141
• A ring initially reforms after several days; repeated detonations are necessary before it disappears completely. 141
• Her first detonation leaves her without active soul skills and unable to immediately perform fine soul-power control. 141
• She completes her cultivation conversion through Soul Power Body Tempering, though she cannot use Lightning Body Tempering because she lacks the lightning attribute. 153 155

Soul Power Pistols

Su Xing equips Zhu Zhuqing with Soul Power Pistols as her primary offensive weapons. 140 155

• Her piercing soul power allows the weapons' shots to function as armor-piercing rounds. 130
• Early shots are unstable because of her incomplete soul-power control. 140
• She later receives two pistols and trains her marksmanship through Phantom Clone cultivation. 155 190
• Against the 30,000-year Tiger Tail Scorpion, she uses clones as cover while repeatedly wounding the creature with pistol fire. 240

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Soul Power Pistols (two) — Her principal weapons after completing cultivation conversion. 155
• Soul Handgun — Given to her during the Star Dou Forest expedition for self-defense and ranged offense. 140
• Soul Cannon — Temporarily entrusted to her for use against ten-thousand-year soul beasts; her soul power can support only five or six shots. 141

Relationships

• Su Xing — Initially an unwanted pursuer and critic of her decisions; later becomes her protector, teacher, romantic partner, and the creator of her customized cultivation path. 4 124 172 334
• Dai Mubai — Her fiancé and partner in the Star Luo succession struggle. She resents his flight from the empire and loses faith in him after witnessing his conduct and repeated failures. 4 8 121
• Zhu Zhuyun — Her older sister and rival. Zhu Zhuqing fears her family's attempts on her life, while Zhu Zhuyun considers her entry into Martial Soul Hall a disgrace and vows to eliminate her if possible. 4 166
• Bibi Dong — Welcomes Zhu Zhuqing into Martial Soul Hall and shields her from open retaliation by the Star Luo Empire. 158
• Xiao Wu — A close friend from Shrek Academy. Zhu Zhuqing accepts Xiao Wu's hundred-thousand-year soul beast identity without prejudice. 143 144
• Ye Lingling — A fellow member of Su Xing's circle and combat partner. Ye Lingling supports Zhu Zhuqing during the hunt against the Tiger Tail Scorpion. 240 241
• Ning Rongrong — A former Shrek Academy friend who is astonished by Zhu Zhuqing's level 72 cultivation. 307

Major Battles

• Against two Soul Grand Masters — Defeats both attackers alone using Hell Stab and Hell Hundred Claws. 4
• Against the Hell White Tiger — Fights alongside Dai Mubai against Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun's fusion, but is decisively defeated. 121
• Against the Tiger Tail Scorpion — Uses Phantom Clones, speed, and Soul Power Pistols to inflict sustained wounds on a 30,000-year spirit beast while avoiding all injury. 240
• Star Luo battlefield — Wields a Soul Power Pistol in each hand, moving too quickly for enemies to touch while killing Star Luo combatants without mercy. 308
