Background

Zhu Zhuqing is the direct daughter of the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire's Netherworld Duke's Mansion. Since childhood, she was betrothed to Dai Mubai, the Star Luo Empire's Third Prince, because the Zhu Family's Netherworld Spirit Cat and the Dai Family's White Tiger Spirit could perform the Netherworld White Tiger Spirit Fusion Skill. Her family's fate was tied to the Star Luo imperial selection system and the political expectations surrounding that union. 53 205

Her original Spirit Resonance with Dai Mubai disappears after Ning Chuan binds Dai Mubai's Spirit Resonance side effect to Tang San instead. Zhu Zhuqing is thereafter bound to Dai Mubai only by their engagement contract rather than their former martial-soul attraction. 23

Initially cold and distant, Zhu Zhuqing becomes increasingly comfortable around Ning Chuan. She is disillusioned by Dai Mubai's decline into indulgence and abandonment of cultivation, while Ning Chuan understands the political burden behind her engagement. 37 53 She accepts Ning Chuan's confession and chooses to face the dangers connected to her future alongside him. 54

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a dark-haired young woman usually associated with delicate black clothing, snow-white skin, a cold bearing, and an athletic yet curvaceous figure. Her appearance and temperament change markedly after her final Spirit transformation. 53 64 262

• Long hair that moves prominently in the wind. 53
• Sharp senses inherited from the Netherworld Spirit Cat, including exceptional vision and hearing. 53
• Six black spider lances emerge from her back when she deploys the Black Widow External Spirit Bone. 64 194
• After absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Spirit Ring, her figure becomes more refined, facial imperfections disappear, and she develops a more alluring temperament. 262

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing presents herself as aloof, steady, and restrained, but she has a mischievous side around people she trusts. Her melancholy stems from the pressure of her arranged engagement and the expectation that her life should serve her family's political role. 37 53

She refuses to simply submit to that fate. After falling in love with Ning Chuan, she decisively chooses him over Dai Mubai and later states that some matters must be faced directly rather than avoided. 151 206

Her affection for Ning Chuan becomes openly possessive at times; she identifies herself as his girlfriend to deter Shui Yue'er and confronts Ning Rongrong after the latter confesses to him. 105 167

Abilities & Skills

Martial Soul Evolution

Zhu Zhuqing's original Martial Soul is the Netherworld Spirit Cat, a speed-oriented Beast Spirit. Through the Black Widow External Spirit Bone and absorbed life force, it evolves first into the Netherworld White Tiger, then into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. 69 223 261

• The Netherworld White Tiger manifests as a seven-meter-long, two-to-three-meter-high light-and-shadow tiger rather than a conventional fusion of the White Tiger and Netherworld Spirit Cat. 225
• Her Dark Demon Evil God Tiger transformation grants wings and an Evil God Hook tail. 261
• Her evolved Spirit is described as a true god-level Spirit. 261 262

Netherworld Consecutive Thrusts

An evolved form of her original first Spirit Ability, Netherworld Thrust. 43 225

• Instantly doubles her speed and strength. 225
• Can be launched continuously for multi-stage attacks, unlike the original straight-line thrust. 43 225
• Its extreme movement speed can leave only a flash of white light and pierce trees along her path. 225

Netherworld Light Wave

Her evolved second Spirit Ability, based on the White Tiger Spirit's White Tiger Light Wave. 225

• Fires dozens or hundreds of cone-shaped light thorns. 225
• The projectiles possess the piercing properties of Netherworld Hundred Claws. 225

Netherworld Doppelganger

A clone ability acquired from a 1,900-year Shadow Leopard Spirit Ring. 108 225

• Originally creates two clones, each possessing half of her strength and able to use Spirit Ring skills. 108
• After her Spirit evolves, creates five figures; each doppelganger retains half her strength while benefiting from her doubled base strength, defense, and attack power. 225

Netherworld Terror Claw

Her fourth Spirit Ability, obtained from a 6,000-year Terror Claw Bear. 118

• Turns her claws dark gold and releases a destructive cross-shaped claw mark. 118
• Can be used at close range. 118
• Its attack power is compared to that of a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ability and compensates for the Netherworld Spirit Cat's former lack of direct offensive power. 118
• Overpowers Tang San's Demon Bear Hammer during their Advancement Round battle. 196

Black Widow External Spirit Bone

An External Spirit Bone absorbed from a Black Widow. 64 194

• Produces six spider lances capable of piercing Dai Mubai's White Tiger Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation. 194
• Delivers neurotoxins through the lances. 194
• Amplifies Zhu Zhuqing's speed enough to overwhelm Tang San's expectations. 195
• Can absorb poison and inadvertently draw in life force; this property contributes to her later Martial Soul evolution. 194 197
• Initial deployment and retraction consume substantial Soul Power; merely retracting the lances takes nearly one-third of her Soul Power. 64

Mystic Heaven Treasure Record Techniques

Zhu Zhuqing learns techniques associated with the Mystic Heaven Treasure Record. 92 197

• Uses Purple Demon Eyes, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Mystic Jade Hand, though these techniques are initially not fully mastered. 92
• Uses Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to pass through Skywater Academy's attempted encirclement. 168
• Develops a mutated Netherworld Hundred Blade Kill, allowing sustained claw-blade attacks without relying on Spirit Rings. 196 197

Evil God Domain

A domain gained after her Spirit becomes the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. 262

• Requires Spirit Avatar form to activate. 262
• Covers an area of roughly 1,000 meters. 262
• Increases Zhu Zhuqing's and her allies' overall attributes by 30% while weakening enemies by 10%. 262
• Places Zhu Zhuqing in a virtual state and continuously erodes enemies' Soul Power and senses. 262
• Fixes opponents within the domain's center; teleportation cannot escape it. 262
• Can be countered by powers comparable to Ye Lingling's Sacred Light or Ning Chuan's Evil-warding Divine Lightning. 262

Equipment / Items

• Black Widow External Spirit Bone — six-lance spider bone with venom, speed amplification, and energy-devouring properties. 64 194
• Cat Face Mask — worn during Soul Battle matches. 37
• Netherworld Blood Spear — used to deliver the killing blow to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. 261

Relationships

• Ning Chuan — boyfriend and primary partner. He helps her refine Spirit Ability applications, supports her against her political fate, and assists her with acquiring and developing her Spirit Bone and Spirit Rings. 30 54 61 64
• Dai Mubai — former fiancé through the Star Luo political marriage custom. Zhu Zhuqing rejects their destined union, defeats him with her External Spirit Bone, and later absorbs part of his life force and Soul Power. 53 151 194 223
• Tang San — former Shrek acquaintance turned tournament rival. Zhu Zhuqing defeats him after her speed, External Spirit Bone, and Netherworld Terror Claw overwhelm his techniques. 195 196
• Ning Rongrong — close friend and teammate. They train and fight together; Ning Rongrong assists Zhu Zhuqing with Spirit Ring absorption and amplifies her in battle. 69 108 261
• Ye Lingling — teammate and ally whose Saint Heart Begonia assists Zhu Zhuqing's Spirit Ring absorptions and supports the group in battle. 108 261
• Xiao Wu — companion and ally. They travel with Ning Chuan after Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld White Tiger evolution and later fight alongside one another against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. 223 261
• Zhu Zhuyun — elder sister. Their relationship is complicated by the Star Luo succession system, but Zhu Zhuqing insists that she must confront their shared circumstances herself. 205 206

She defeats Dai Mubai decisively with her Black Widow External Spirit Bone, then defeats Tang San using superior speed, Netherworld Hundred Blade Kill, and Netherworld Terror Claw. 194 195 196

Netherworld White Tiger Evolution

The life force and Soul Power absorbed from Dai Mubai through the Black Widow External Spirit Bone trigger Zhu Zhuqing's evolution into the Netherworld White Tiger. Her Spirit Ring configuration changes to Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, and all four of her Spirit Abilities strengthen. 198 223 225

Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Transformation

Zhu Zhuqing joins Ning Chuan, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Xiao Wu, and Shui Bing'er in hunting the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. After Ning Chuan incapacitates the beast, she kills it with the Netherworld Blood Spear and absorbs its Spirit Ring. 261

The absorption transforms her Netherworld White Tiger into a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and grants her the Evil God Domain. 261 262
