Background

Zhu Zhuqing is from the Netherworld Spirit Cat Family of the Star Luo Empire and was engaged to Dai Mubai, the empire's Third Prince. Their families' succession struggle placed both of them under severe pressure. Zhuqing left her family and came to Shrek Academy because of Dai Mubai, but she regarded his conduct and apparent abandonment of responsibility as proof that relying on him had been a mistake. 74 99 220 221

Her drive to become stronger stems from her refusal to accept the fate imposed by her family. Ye Feng recognized this determination and offered her cultivation guidance, eventually persuading her to enter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where she could receive protection from the Star Luo family conflict. 68 99

When members of the Netherworld Spirit Cat Family later attempted to bring her back, Zhuqing chose to remain with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Fengzhi and Ye Feng supported her decision. 237

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a young girl with a baby face, black eyes, and an ordinarily cold, aloof expression. 54

During Martial Soul Possession, her appearance becomes distinctly feline:

• Her left eye turns dark green and her right eye clear blue.
• Cat ears emerge atop her head.
• She gains a long cat tail and sharp claws.
• Her fighting posture becomes low, predatory, and agile. 70

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is reserved, cool-spoken, and intensely self-reliant. Even while isolated among her peers, she continues training beyond scheduled hours and refuses to let fatigue distract her from becoming stronger. 67

She is notably stubborn when accepting help. She initially rejected Ye Feng's offer to teach her Mind Splitting Control because she considered it an inheritance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, only agreeing after learning that Heart Separation Control was not exclusive to the sect. 98 99

Despite her harsh resolve toward her family, Zhuqing retains compassion. After defeating Zhu Zhuyun, she declined to pursue further retaliation and wept rather than celebrating the victory. 222

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat

Zhuqing's Hell Spirit Cat martial soul makes her an Agility Attack Type Soul Master specializing in rapid movement, close-range claw strikes, and evasive combat. 57 70

• Can move quickly enough to pressure other agility-focused opponents. 133 203
• Uses sharp claws for repeated close-range attacks. 70 203
• Served as the group's scout in the Star Dou Great Forest when Ye Feng's flight was restricted. 86

Hell Stab

Her First Spirit Skill doubles her speed and enables a rapid forward attack.

• Used to evade Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and close distance in an instant. 71
• Its effectiveness is limited against a prepared Control-type Soul Master with binding abilities. 71

Netherworld Slash

Zhuqing's Third Spirit Skill combines the blades on all ten fingers into a single weapon and releases a crescent-shaped blade of light.

• Delivered the decisive blow against a higher-ranked Swift Leopard Soul Master. 134
• Provides a stronger finishing attack than her ordinary claw strikes. 134

Netherworld Phantom Cat

Her Fourth Spirit Skill was acquired from a 5,000-year-old Ghost Shadow Tiger. It creates multiple combat-capable clones that can use spirit-ring skills for a limited time. 148 149

• Split Zhuqing into four indistinguishable bodies during her demonstration. 149
• Greatly increased her combat power against opponents of a similar level. 149
• Ye Feng used his Illusionary Eye to distinguish her real body from the clones. 149

Heart Separation Control

Ye Feng taught Zhuqing Heart Separation Control, a cultivation method that enables multitasking and continuous cultivation while performing other activities. 99

• Its five realms correspond to the number of soul skills that can be controlled or released simultaneously. 99
• Allowed Zhuqing to cultivate for more than ten hours a day, aside from sleep. 99
• Contributed to her rapid advancement after receiving the Water Immortal Ice Muscle Bone. 119

Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Zhuqing's martial soul has an unusual resonance with Ye Feng's, allowing them to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 54 59

• Their first documented fusion transformed Ye Feng into a black Cat Hawk, breaking Zhao Wuji's applied soul skills. 59
• Following Ye Feng's martial soul evolution, their fusion produced the Golden-winged Great Peng, a lightning-and-fire divine-beast form that overwhelmed Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's ice-based fusion skill. 186
• Their fusion later helped trigger Ye Feng's subsequent martial soul evolution. 190

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy Assessment

Zhuqing joined Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Feng in the assessment battle against Zhao Wuji. Her attack shattered Zhao Wuji's Immovable Ming King Body, and she subsequently fused her martial soul with Ye Feng's for the first time. 58 59

Conflict with Dai Mubai

After learning of Dai Mubai's behavior and attempted aggression toward her, Zhuqing became further disillusioned with him and resolved to depend on herself rather than their engagement. 74 78

Entry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

Zhuqing accepted Ye Feng and Ning Rongrong's invitation to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She received Heart Separation Control and the Water Immortal Ice Muscle Bone, which improved her cultivation aptitude. 99 118 119

Fourth Spirit Ring Hunt

After reaching Level 40, Zhuqing trained in Sunset Forest with Ye Feng and fought a 5,000-year-old Ghost Shadow Tiger. She dealt the final blow after Ye Feng immobilized the beast, absorbed its spirit ring, and gained Netherworld Phantom Cat. 148 149

Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition

Zhuqing defeated three Thunderclap Academy opponents in succession before losing to Yu Tianxin's Thunder Dragon Claw. Ye Feng caught her after her defeat, while Xiao Wu later defeated Yu Tianxin in retaliation. 203 204

Against Star Luo Royal Advanced Spirit Master Academy, Zhuqing confronted her elder sister Zhu Zhuyun and declared her refusal to remain oppressed by her family. With Ning Rongrong's support, she suppressed Zhu Zhuyun; Shrek Academy's victory made Zhuqing and Dai Mubai likely heirs of their respective families. 221 222 223

Defiance of Her Family

Following the tournament, Zhuqing considered returning to her family but was convinced by Ye Feng to remain with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. When her family later sent representatives to retrieve her, she reaffirmed that choice. 225 237

Relationships

• Ye Feng — Ally, cultivation mentor, martial soul fusion partner, and romantic partner. He supported her independence, helped her obtain her fourth spirit ring, and later confessed his feelings; Zhuqing reciprocated. 99 148 149 206
• Dai Mubai — Fiancé through a Star Luo political arrangement. Zhuqing became disillusioned with him after his conduct at Shrek, though they later fought together against their families' rival heirs. 74 220 222
• Zhu Zhuyun — Elder sister and rival in the Netherworld Spirit Cat Family's succession conflict. Zhuqing defeated her during the tournament but chose not to seek further revenge. 221 222
• Ning Rongrong — Shrek teammate and fellow member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Rongrong supported Zhuqing's recruitment into the sect and strengthened her in battle. 99 134 222
• Tang San — Shrek teammate. Tang San defeated Zhuqing in an early match through Blue Silver Grass control, but later entrusted her with deciding how to treat Zhu Zhuyun after the Star Luo battle. 71 222
• Xiao Wu — Shrek teammate and friend. Xiao Wu avenged Zhuqing's defeat by challenging and beating Yu Tianxin. 204
• Ning Fengzhi — Sect leader who supported Zhuqing's decision to remain in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and refused her family's request to reclaim her. 237
