Background

Zhu Zhuqing trained alone at Spirit Academy’s training ground, attempting to close the six-level gap between herself and Dai Mubai. When Dai Mubai harassed her and claimed that she would have to marry him after graduation because of obligations between their families, she attacked him with her Nether Spirit Cat claws. Dai blocked the strike effortlessly and reminded her that she was only Level 62 against his Level 68. 9

That night, Zhu Zhuqing confided in Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Bai Chenxiang about the encounter. After Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong demonstrated the impossible gains they had received from the Happy Claw Machine, Zhu Zhuqing resolved to visit the shop and acquire enough strength to stop enduring Dai Mubai’s behavior. 10

At the shop, she registered as a Standard Member and won the Little Cat Pendant. Its Double Speed BUFF gave her the mobility needed to challenge Dai Mubai despite their difference in Soul Power. 11 12

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is quiet, direct, and difficult to intimidate. She reacts to Dai Mubai’s harassment with open disgust, but initially accepts that she lacks the strength to defeat him. Rather than remain passive, she trains relentlessly and immediately pursues the opportunity offered by the Happy Claw Machine. 9 10

She maintains a controlled expression even when nervous or excited. During her duel with Dai Mubai, she avoids boasting, asks only whether he concedes, and suppresses her emotions until the match is over. 13 14

Though reserved, Zhu Zhuqing is loyal to her roommates. She joins their daily visits to Qin Chuan’s shop, helps conceal the group’s true strength during academy drills, and supports Bai Chenxiang’s plan to deter Ma Hongjun. 15 17 25 27
