Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing is a direct member of the Star Luo Empire’s Zhu Family. Her childhood was initially happy, but her treatment at home changed sharply after she awakened her Martial Soul. She endured suppression and humiliation from her elder sister, repeated assassination attempts, and eventual flight to Shrek Academy. 180 573

She originally came to Shrek seeking Dai Mubai, hoping he would resist the fate imposed on them. Instead, she found him cowardly, indulgent, and unwilling to improve himself. His behavior left her disillusioned, but she initially believed her limited talent left her unable to survive alone. 121

Ye Qiu notices both her ambition and vulnerability. He heals her injuries, teaches her the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and offers a partnership based on mutual benefit while openly admitting his attraction to her. Zhu Zhuqing gradually accepts his guidance, cultivates alongside him, and chooses to leave behind the restraints of her former life. 121 122 179 221

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a striking young woman whose normally frosty expression and cold gaze reinforce her distant demeanor. Her Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul gives her a distinctly feline combat form. 100 107

• Wears leather pants and cat-ear hair ornaments. 92
• During Martial Soul Possession, manifests cat ears, a swishing cat tail, sharp claws, and mismatched eyes: dark green on the left and clear blue on the right. 107 126
• Her Clear Autumn fusion form creates a black, close-fitting outfit marked by purple patterns, white eyes, feline ears and tail, and blade-like extensions from her hands. 180

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is aloof, reserved, and difficult to approach at first. She speaks bluntly, rejects undeserved favors, and demands to be treated seriously in battle. When Dai Mubai asks Tang San to go easy on her, she insists on a fair fight instead. 105 126

Her pride is matched by exceptional discipline. She cultivates immediately after bathing, trains relentlessly to close the gap with stronger companions, and considers strength necessary to escape the fate imposed on her family. 122 183 223

Over time, she becomes more emotionally open with Ye Qiu, showing affection, trust, and concern for his safety. Her independence remains central to her character: after repeatedly warning Dai Mubai to leave her alone, she resolves to settle their conflict personally. 203 400 578

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul

Zhu Zhuqing’s Beast Martial Soul specializes in stealth, speed, sharp strikes, reconnaissance, and assassination-oriented combat. 105 126

• Uses rapid movement and afterimages to attack openings and vital points. 107
• Excels at ambushes, scouting, and assassination rather than direct arena confrontations. 126
• Initially struggles against opponents whose defenses or control abilities deny her close-range attacks, such as Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass. 126

Soul Skills

• Hell Stab — Her first spirit skill; delivers a sharp, high-speed claw strike. Under Clear Autumn, its penetrating power approaches that of an Assault System Soul King. 107 204
• Nether Hundred Claws — A rapid multi-strike technique used to shred defensive targets. 204
• Nether Slash — A curved-blade attack that can return after striking, though it consumes substantial Soul Power and is difficult to control alone. 323
• Qing Qiu Disintegration — Produces two masked figures to aid her offense. 323
• Fourth Spirit Skill — Creates six clones, allowing her to replace Ye Qiu’s retreating clones and cover her team’s escape. 411 414
• Netherworld Shadow Connection — Her fifth spirit skill creates nine linked afterimages; each has ten percent less attack power than the last, but once the true body lands a hit, the following afterimages cannot be evaded. 614

Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eyes

Ye Qiu teaches Zhu Zhuqing the Mysterious Heaven Skill and instructs her not to pass it to anyone else. Its promise of faster cultivation fuels her determination to surpass Dai Mubai. 122

• Cultivates Purple Demon Eyes for enhanced sight and perception. 406 421
• Her Purple Demon Eyes were initially too shallow to safely withstand the spiritual shock of a Ten Thousand Year spirit ring. 406

Clear Autumn

Clear Autumn is Zhu Zhuqing’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Ye Qiu. Their Soul Power and memories intertwine during activation, allowing Ye Qiu’s Venom to form a black-and-purple combat body around her. 180

• Greatly boosts her physical power, perception, dynamic vision, and striking ability. 180 181
• Allows her to defeat two Level 48 Defense System Soul Masters while primarily using her own techniques. 204
• The fusion gives her combat experience and perception beyond her normal level, but Ye Qiu’s overwhelming power can reduce the value of ordinary sparring practice. 204

Team Fusion Techniques

Zhu Zhuqing becomes a key component in several larger fusion formations.

• Five-in-One Fusion Skill — Initiates the Spirit Hall Academy Team’s ring fusion and serves as the formation’s foundation. 597 598
• Ice Flame Nine-Life Sky Cat — Participates in a four-in-one Martial Soul Fusion Skill that reaches Titled Douluo-level power while crossing the Ring Sea. 685
• Trinity Spirit Fusion Skill — Acts as the vessel for Huo Wu and Shui Bing’er’s powers, transforming her Hell Spirit Cat with ice-and-fire attributes and tempering her body. 680
• Six-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill — Contributes the Hell Spirit Cat’s traits to a six-person fusion form. 671

Equipment / Items

• Narcissus Jade Bone — Immortal herb consumed before gaining her third spirit ring; significantly improves her cultivation and potential. 222
• Third Spirit Ring — Obtained from an approximately 1,800-year Rapid Lightning Green Mantis. 222
• Fourth Spirit Ring — Obtained from an approximately 8,000-year Ghost Tiger. 406
• Shadow Assault Gale Right Leg Spirit Bone — A 30,000-year spirit bone that lets her turn into a shadow and move through darkness; increases her speed by 30% while active. 614
• Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone — Receives one of the championship rewards granted to Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation; its exact type is not specified. 600

Relationships

• Ye Qiu — Partner, benefactor, cultivation companion, and Clear Autumn fusion partner. He offers her strength and security; she later resolves to stay by his side and support his growth. 121 180 203 400
• Dai Mubai — Formerly the person she sought at Shrek, but his cowardice and arrogance destroy her trust. She rejects him, warns him not to approach her again, and later develops open killing intent toward him. 121 299 578 612
• Xiao Wu — Fellow Shrek student, Spirit Hall companion, and close ally. Zhu Zhuqing comforts Xiao Wu during the Death Canyon escape and fights alongside her repeatedly. 414 423
• Ning Rongrong — Treated as a sister by Ning Rongrong; they train, travel, and share a close connection through Ye Qiu’s group. 233 235
• Hu Liena — Spirit Hall teammate and fellow Golden Generation member. Zhu Zhuqing includes her in the group despite the complicated relationship surrounding Ye Qiu. 504 600
• Dugu Bo — Calls Zhu Zhuqing his god-granddaughter and publicly offers his protection against the Star Luo delegation. 298
• Huo Wu and Shui Bing’er — Partners in a Trinity Spirit Fusion Skill centered on Zhu Zhuqing’s Hell Spirit Cat. 680
• Bibi Dong — Recruits her for Spirit Hall in part because of her talent and Zhu Family status, then officially recognizes her as part of the Golden Generation. 389 600

Story Role

Shrek Academy and Breaking with Dai Mubai

Zhu Zhuqing enters Shrek Academy as a Level 27 Soul Grandmaster. Her early arc centers on her disappointment in Dai Mubai and the realization that she must pursue strength for herself rather than rely on him. Her loss to Tang San reinforces the limitations of her direct combat ability and deepens her desire to improve. 105 121 126

Partnership with Ye Qiu

After Ye Qiu teaches her the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Zhu Zhuqing accepts his support and cultivates with him. Their Clear Autumn fusion reveals each other’s memories, exposing her difficult past while allowing her to experience power and perception far beyond her usual limits. 122 180 181

Spirit Hall Recruitment and Death Canyon

Bibi Dong recognizes Zhu Zhuqing’s talent and family value, eventually bringing her into Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation. In Death Canyon, Zhu Zhuqing reaches Soul Ancestor, absorbs the Ghost Tiger ring, gains clone-based combat options, and assumes command of the group’s escape when Ye Qiu stays behind to rescue Hu Liena. 389 405 406 414

Spirit Master Competition

As a Level 47 Soul Ancestor, Zhu Zhuqing leads the Spirit Hall Academy Team. Her conspicuous placement exposes her Zhu Family identity to the Star Luo Empire and becomes part of Bibi Dong’s political strategy. She later serves as the foundation of the Five-in-One Fusion Skill that helps Spirit Hall claim victory. 573 574 597 600

Spirit King and Sea God Island

After reaching Level 50, Zhu Zhuqing obtains her fifth spirit skill and advances to Level 51 Spirit King. On Sea God Island, she receives Black Level Six Trials—an improvement over the Black Level Five Trials she would otherwise have received—and later reaches Level 64 Soul Emperor through a trial reward. 614 650 670

Trivia
