Background / History

Escape from the Zhu Family

Zhu Zhuqing is the second miss of the Star Luo Empire’s Zhu Family. After escaping her family, she was pursued by assassins acting under the orders of her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun, who intended to have her captured and returned. The pursuit left Zhu Zhuqing severely wounded and exhausted. 65 66

She collided with Lu Xiao while fleeing through Qinglin Town and pleaded for help before losing consciousness. Lu Xiao defeated her pursuers, then treated her injuries with medicine and bandages. Du Busi later confirmed the assassins’ connection to the Zhu Family and Zhu Zhuyun. 65 66

Having previously escaped and been captured multiple times, Zhu Zhuqing had come to see only darkness in her future. Lu Xiao’s intervention gave her someone she could trust and rely upon; when asked what she planned to do after escaping, she chose to accompany him. 66 67

Journey to Heaven Dou

Zhu Zhuqing joined Lu Xiao and Du Busi on their journey into the Star Dou Great Forest. Still recovering from her injuries, she struggled to keep pace, and Lu Xiao carried her through the forest. She remained worried for him during the battle against the sixty-thousand-year Crimson Gold Emperor Tiger and guarded him while he absorbed its soul ring. 67 68 69

Afterward, she traveled with Lu Xiao and Du Busi to Heaven Dou City. She trained for more than six hours each day during the journey and arrived at Soul Power Level 19, only one step from a breakthrough. 70

Training and Second Soul Ring

At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Zhu Zhuqing was introduced to Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling. Though reserved, she accepted Xiao Wu’s welcome and began adapting to her new environment. 70

After a month of grueling training, Zhu Zhuqing reached Soul Power Level 20. Lu Xiao then escorted her to Sunset Forest to seek a second soul ring suited to her Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul. 74

They located a roughly 900-year Shadow Civet, whose soul ring Zhu Zhuqing absorbed successfully. The creature also produced the rare Shadow Civet Right Claw Bone; despite initially refusing it, Zhu Zhuqing accepted the External Soul Bone after Lu Xiao explained its compatibility with her martial soul. The ring raised her to Level 22, and the soul bone advanced her to Level 23. 75 76

Third Soul Ring and Dai Mubai

After continuing her cultivation for several years, Zhu Zhuqing reached Soul Power Level 30. Du Busi brought her, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Lu Xiao to the Star Dou Great Forest, where Lu Xiao subdued a roughly 3,000-year Nether Leopard selected for Zhu Zhuqing's third soul ring. 96 97

Zhu Zhuqing later confronted Dai Mubai in a duel against Shrek Academy. Using her three soul rings, the Shadow Civet Right Claw Bone, and her self-created soul skill, Shadow Flash Instant Kill, she defeated him and severely injured his shoulder. 117

Martial Soul Evolution

At the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Lu Xiao selected the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and Black Nethermoon Ghost Lotus to refine a pill capable of nourishing Zhu Zhuqing's body and awakening the darkness attribute within her Martial Soul. 122 123

The refinement transformed the Hell Spirit Cat into a pure-darkness Martial Soul. Zhu Zhuqing named her evolved Martial Soul the New Moon Spirit Cat, and her Soul Power rose to Rank 39. 123 124

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing has long black hair, cool black eyes, and a notably reserved expression. After arriving in Heaven Dou, she wears her hair in twin cat-ear buns with loose strands framing her face, along with a dark-purple leather combat outfit and a ribbon resembling a cat’s tail. 65 70

• Her initial appearance in Qinglin Town was disheveled and bloodied from the Zhu Family’s pursuit. 65 66
• When using her Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul, she manifests black cat ears, a slender black tail, and altered eyes. 77
• After acquiring her second soul ring, she possessed two yellow soul rings; after gaining her third ring, her configuration became two yellow rings and one purple ring. 77 110
• Following her Martial Soul evolution, her eyes become pure-black vertical pupils in combat, while her cat ears, tail, and claws are enveloped in dense darkness energy. 124
• Her figure and complexion became more mature following the New Moon Spirit Cat's evolution. 124

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is quiet, guarded, and initially reluctant to engage in unnecessary conversation. Her cold demeanor stems from the fear, pressure, and repeated betrayal she endured within the Zhu Family. 66 70

Despite this, she is resolute and courageous. She insists on accompanying Lu Xiao into the Star Dou Great Forest despite the danger, and she commits herself intensely to cultivation after reaching Heaven Dou Royal Academy. 67 70 74

She develops strong trust and affection toward Lu Xiao because of his protection and support. Her concern for his safety becomes especially clear during the Crimson Gold Emperor Tiger hunt and later when Golden Crocodile Douluo confronts them. 68 69 77

Her growth at Heaven Dou Royal Academy makes her increasingly confident and assertive. This is particularly evident when she chooses to confront Dai Mubai herself and when she names her evolved New Moon Spirit Cat Martial Soul without hesitation. 117 124

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul

Zhu Zhuqing originally possessed the Hell Spirit Cat, a beast-type Martial Soul suited to agility and claw-based combat. It later evolved into the New Moon Spirit Cat. 75 77 124

• Activating the martial soul grants her feline traits, including black cat ears and a tail. 77
• She used her martial soul when Golden Crocodile Douluo pressured Lu Xiao, preparing to defend him despite the overwhelming difference in strength. 77
• Her second soul ring was obtained from a roughly 900-year Shadow Civet, a soul beast considered well suited to her martial soul. 75 76
• Her third soul ring came from a roughly 3,000-year Nether Leopard, providing a purple soul ring suited to her speed-oriented combat style. 97 110

New Moon Spirit Cat Martial Soul

Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Spirit Cat evolved into the New Moon Spirit Cat after she consumed a pill refined from Immortal Herbs selected by Lu Xiao. The evolved Martial Soul possesses a pure darkness attribute, shedding the former Hell Spirit Cat's mixed nether characteristics. 122 123 124

• The New Moon Spirit Cat manifests as a pure-black spirit cat phantom, with darkness power churning beneath its paws. 123
• Its activation produces pure-black vertical pupils, black cat ears, a black tail, and several-inch-long claws covered in dim darkness energy. 124
• The evolution substantially improved Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul quality and raised her Soul Power to Rank 39. 124

• The claw bone is highly compatible with the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul. 76
• It increases her claw-strike speed and attack power. 76
• Its absorption raised her Soul Power from Level 22 to Level 23. 76
• It grants her right claws a piercing effect capable of breaking through Dai Mubai's White Tiger Protection Barrier. 117

• Lu Xiao — Her rescuer, protector, and primary source of trust after her escape from the Zhu Family. She accompanies him to Heaven Dou, trains under his guidance, and expresses her gratitude and affection by kissing him after receiving her second soul ring and External Soul Bone. She later kisses his cheek before fighting Dai Mubai and continues to rely on his guidance in her Martial Soul evolution. 65 66 70 75 76 117 124
