Background

Zhu Zhuqing was born into a clan whose women were betrothed to Star Luo princes of similar age to participate in the empire's brutal succession struggle. Defeat meant death, crippling, or a life as another person's plaything. She was engaged to Dai Mubai, but he fled the Star Luo Empire while she was still under ten, leaving her to face the consequences alone. 12

Refusing to accept that fate, Zhu Zhuqing cultivated diligently and escaped to the Heaven Dou Empire to find Dai Mubai. Seeing his depraved behavior destroyed her remaining hope in him, but witnessing Shrek Academy's strength gave her reason to continue seeking power. 12

When Lan Minghua offered to accept her as a disciple, Dai Mubai attempted to answer for her. Zhu Zhuqing rejected his interference, stating that she wanted strength only to escape suffering and survive. Lan Minghua accepted her as his second disciple. 12

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is initially cool, restrained, and deeply distrustful of others. Her years under the Star Luo succession system leave her focused on survival rather than status or romance. She refuses to let Dai Mubai speak for her or determine her future. 12 80

She is highly disciplined and responds quickly to meaningful guidance, reaching the introductory stage of the Nine Yin Manual in one night. Her resolve is matched by a practical, analytical fighting style; she studies opponents' techniques and exploits their weaknesses rather than confronting every attack directly. 16 110

Although she remains outwardly cold, Zhu Zhuqing develops strong loyalty to Lan Minghua and Oscar. Oscar's willingness to protect her changes how she sees him, while Lan Minghua's consistent support gives her the first sense of home she has known. 22 67 98

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul

Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Spirit Cat is a dark-attribute, Agile Attack System Beast Martial Soul centered on overwhelming speed, mobility, and claw-based close combat. 10 13

• Her speed allows her to leave afterimages and evade attacks that other Soul Masters cannot track. 22 81 109
• She uses Hell Stab as her First Soul Skill. 97
• She uses Nether Hundred Claws as her Second Soul Skill, producing a storm of rapid claw strikes. 16 81
• Her Fourth Soul Ring is ten thousand years old; its unnamed claw attack severely wounds and ultimately kills Ning Wuchen. 80 110

Nine Yin Manual

Lan Minghua gives Zhu Zhuqing the Nine Yin Manual, whose upper volume covers internal energy and lower volume covers external techniques. 16

• Reaching its introductory stage raises her Soul Power from level 27 to level 29 in one night. 16
• The manual improves her perception, helping her avoid Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and discern combat threats. 21
• Its external techniques allow her claw attacks to crack Oscar's golden-light defense. 16
• She uses the Nine Yin White Bone Claw to defeat Tang San after being injured by the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. 22

Soul Bone Enhancements

Zhu Zhuqing absorbs Soul Bones under Lan Minghua's guidance and gains a significant increase in combat strength. 41

• She obtains Evil God Wind Shadow Step after absorbing Soul Bones. 41
• She possesses the Left Leg Bone of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which contributes a deeper “darkness” to her Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Oscar. 100
• Her Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Bone grants a Soul Bone skill. 108

Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Winged Hell White Tiger

Zhu Zhuqing can combine her power with Oscar's to form a winged Hell White Tiger. 100

• The fusion is created through the pair's tightly linked Soul Power and mutual trust. 100
• Its wings distinguish it from Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun's ordinary Hell White Tiger fusion. 100
• It overwhelms and forcibly breaks apart Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun's Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 100

Equipment / Items

• Gravity Sensing Bracelet — Training Soul Tool given by Lan Minghua. 16
• Gluttonous Pouch (ring version) — Rare spatial Soul Tool given by Lan Minghua. 16
• Nine Yin Manual — Secret manual used for internal-energy and external-technique cultivation. 16
• Black Battle Armor — Equipment in her possession by the tournament semifinals. 108
• Three Treasure Orbs — Items in her possession by the tournament semifinals. 108

Relationships

• Lan Minghua — Master and protector. He accepts Zhu Zhuqing as his second disciple, provides her with cultivation resources, and supports her effort to escape the Star Luo Empire's imposed fate. 12 16 67
• Oscar — Fellow disciple, closest combat partner, and emotional confidant. They form the Oscar-Zhu Combination, repeatedly protect one another, and develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill together. 20 22 98 100
• Dai Mubai — Former fiancé. His abandonment and later behavior cause Zhu Zhuqing to lose all faith in him; after decisively defeating him, she unilaterally annuls their engagement. 12 79 81
• Zhu Zhuyun — Older sister and Star Luo rival. Zhu Zhuyun mocks Zhu Zhuqing for fleeing and attempts to force her back into submission during the Seat Competition. 97 99
• Dai Weisi — Star Luo crown prince and Dai Mubai's elder brother. He attempts to eliminate Zhu Zhuqing after recognizing her potential, but is defeated by her fusion with Oscar. 97 98 100
• Meng Yiran — Junior sister and battlefield ally. The two fight back-to-back when cornered in the Frozen Forest. 36 67
• Tang San — Tournament opponent and adversary. Zhu Zhuqing defeats him in their duo battle despite his use of poisoned Zhuge Divine Crossbow bolts. 21 22
• Ning Wuchen — Opponent in the Soul Master Exchange Tournament. Zhu Zhuqing defeats the rank 51 Soul King by exploiting the limited range and high Soul Power consumption of his control abilities. 109 110

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy and Discipleship

Zhu Zhuqing passes Shrek Academy's entrance test after Zhao Wuji intervenes. Lan Minghua notices her determination and recruits her after she openly declares that she wants the strength to survive rather than remain trapped by Star Luo's succession system. 12

Lan Minghua equips her with Soul Tools and the Nine Yin Manual. She immediately proves her talent by reaching its introductory stage overnight and rapidly advancing to level 29. 16

Oscar-Zhu Combination

Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar form the Oscar-Zhu Combination for a duo fight at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena. She provides Oscar with intelligence on Tang San and Xiao Wu, including Tang San's Twin Martial Souls and hidden weapons. 20

Tang San injures her with the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, but Oscar shields her from a second volley and supplies sausages that restore her strength and detoxify the poison. Zhu Zhuqing then defeats Tang San with the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, securing their victory. 22

Breaking from Dai Mubai

After returning from the Frozen Forest as a Soul Ancestor with a ten-thousand-year Fourth Soul Ring, Zhu Zhuqing confronts Dai Mubai herself rather than allowing Oscar to intervene. 79 80

She evades Dai Mubai's White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, defeats him almost instantly with Nether Hundred Claws, and publicly annuls their engagement. She declares that neither Dai Mubai nor the Star Luo Empire will control her fate. 81

Seat Competition and Star Luo Royal Team

During the upper-half Seat Competition, Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar separate to seek Seat Tokens while evading Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect pursuers. Zhu Zhuqing secures a token but is intercepted by Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and the Star Luo Royal Team. 97

After revealing her rank 42 Soul Ancestor cultivation and ten-thousand-year Fourth Soul Ring, she defeats Tang Hongning and Li Yang, then wounds Zhu Zhuyun. When the Star Luo Royal Team surrounds her, Oscar protects her and agrees to help her confront the fate she had been forced to bear alone. 98 99

Together, Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar summon the winged Hell White Tiger, crushing Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun's fusion skill. 100

Soul Master Exchange Tournament

In the semifinals, Zhu Zhuqing faces the rank 51 control-system Soul Master Ning Wuchen. She tests the range of his control skills, avoids his hidden-weapon ambush with an afterimage, and closes in before he can use his Fifth Soul Skill. 109 110

Using her Fourth Soul Skill and successive claw attacks, she kills Ning Wuchen despite being nine Soul Power ranks below him. 110

Notable Quotes

“The motivation for my cultivation so far is only to escape a life of suffering. I don't want to be a foil for the losers; I just want to live.” 12

“I don't need help from that coward Dai Mubai. I'll rely on my own strength to break this damned fate!” 97

“Dai Mubai, from this day on, the engagement between us is unilaterally annulled. I will no longer be controlled by anyone. Even the Star Luo Empire cannot decide my fate.” 81
