Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing arrived in Suotuo City with Bai Yu. Seeing Dai Mubai together with two women left her disillusioned with him and strained their already awkward connection. Bai Yu helped her find lodging in the city. 14

She initially hesitated over Bai Yu's offer to teach her his techniques, recognizing that accepting it could mean separating herself from her family’s expectations. She ultimately chose to cultivate under him, receiving his Cultivation Method and an External Soul Bone. 19 36

Bai Yu later provided the Jade Bone of Watery Muscles and Immortal Bones, which refined her body, improved her aptitude, and sharply accelerated her cultivation. After absorbing a Shadow Blade Mantis Spirit Ring, she reached rank 37. 42 45

During the Soul Master Tournament, Zhu Zhuqing became one of Shrek’s principal combatants. Her speed, cold-attributed Soul Power, clones, and self-created techniques allowed her to defeat Feng Xiaotian in a one-on-one duel and contest her elder sister Zhu Zhuyun. 209 211 221 222

Her match against Zhu Zhuyun clarified that her sister had not intended to kill her when Zhu Zhuqing fled Star Luo; Zhu Zhuyun had instead arranged a deliberately ineffective pursuit to send her away. Zhu Zhuqing’s resentment faded, though their relationship remained competitive and emotionally complicated. 221 224

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is outwardly cold, reserved, and blunt. She is highly stubborn and competitive, particularly around Zhu Zhuyun, whom she had always regarded as a step ahead of herself. Even when exhausted to the point that using a basic Spirit Skill was difficult, she forced herself onward to defeat her sister. 221 222

Despite this severity, she is compassionate and tactically disciplined. She stopped Huo Wu from permanently damaging herself, warned Tang San and Tailong away from danger, and coordinated defensive measures with Ning Rongrong during team battles. 196 195

Her time with Bai Yu makes her noticeably more open and cheerful. She develops strong affection, jealousy, and possessiveness toward him, while also trusting him enough to seek his aid for Zhu Zhuyun and the Zhu Family. 43 149 224 225

Abilities & Skills

Cultivation Method — Moon Dance

Zhu Zhuqing’s cultivation-method trait converts her Soul Power into Extreme Yin, giving it an ice-cold attribute.

• Her Yin Cold Soul Power can stiffen an opponent’s body and interfere with their Soul Power circulation. 130
• At great completion, the trait can evolve into an Extreme Yin Domain. 130
• Its special attributes contribute to her combat effectiveness alongside her exceptional speed. 221

Netherworld Hundred Claws

A rapid claw-based Spirit Ability used in close combat.

• Bai Yu identified and intercepted every strike when Zhu Zhuqing used it during a trial. 16
• It is her Second Spirit Ability. 210
• She can combine it with her clone to attack an opponent from both sides simultaneously. 210

Third Spirit Ability

A Shadow Blade Mantis-derived attack that produces dark-purple Qi Blades.

• Zhu Zhuqing crosses her hands and releases two Qi Blades at her target. 195
• Her third Spirit Ring was absorbed after reaching rank 30 through the Jade Bone treasure. 42

Shadow Clone

Zhu Zhuqing’s Fourth Spirit Skill creates a duplicate that moves in concert with her.

• The clone and original can pressure opponents from opposite sides. 209 210
• A clone delivered the decisive attack against Feng Xiaotian after he escaped into the air. 210
• She used the skill to prevent Huo Wu from further injuring herself. 196
• Heavy Soul Power consumption can leave Zhu Zhuqing unable to use it after prolonged combat. 222

Self-Created Soul Skills

Zhu Zhuqing uses self-created techniques to maintain a relentless, high-speed offense.

• Nine Shadows Spiral Steps — footwork that maximizes her speed and movement rhythm. 210
• Bone-Shattering Divine Claw — a claw technique used alongside her footwork to overwhelm Feng Xiaotian. 210
• These techniques are most effective when she can fight independently rather than coordinate around a team formation. 210

External Soul Bone of the Shadow Cat

An External Soul Bone given by Bai Yu and fused into Zhu Zhuqing’s body.

• Raises her Spirit Power by one rank upon fusion. 42
• Grants Penetration and Tearing effects. 42
• Provides the active skill Shadow, which turns her body into a shadow and makes her immune to damage for a period. 234
• Using Shadow allowed her to pass through an opponent’s attack and close in for a decisive strike. 234

Soul Power Fusion Skill — Yin Yang Cycle

A defensive pseudo-domain jointly created with Ning Rongrong.

• Zhu Zhuqing’s Extreme Yin Soul Power fuses with Ning Rongrong’s Extreme Yang Soul Power. 195
• Produces an expanding black-and-gold Taiji Diagram. 195
• Can block powerful attacks and withstand the combined pressure of the Star Luo Team. 195 221
• Its considerable Soul Power cost can leave Zhu Zhuqing severely depleted. 222
• Zhu Zhuqing can also use a version with Xiao Wu, who cultivates Sun Dance, but doing so would drain two primary combatants. 221

Equipment / Items

• Jade Bone of Watery Muscles and Immortal Bones — Heavenly Treasure that moisturizes bones, clears meridians, improves innate aptitude, and accelerates cultivation. 42
• External Soul Bone of the Shadow Cat — grants Penetration, Tearing, and the Shadow skill. 36 42 234

Relationships

• Bai Yu — mentor, benefactor, and romantic partner. He gives her a Cultivation Method, External Soul Bone, Heavenly Treasure, and continued guidance; she later openly confesses her feelings for him. 36 42 149
• Dai Mubai — originally her fiancé. Zhu Zhuqing becomes disillusioned after seeing him with other women and eventually fights independently of him. 14 221
• Zhu Zhuyun — elder sister and rival. Their rivalry is intense, but Zhu Zhuqing learns Zhu Zhuyun had tried to protect her rather than kill her; she later worries about her sister’s future amid Star Luo’s collapse. 221 224 225
• Ning Rongrong — teammate and close companion. They jointly developed Yin Yang Cycle and support each other during the tournament. 195 211
• Xiao Wu — teammate and companion. Zhu Zhuqing shares concern for Xiao Wu and can potentially perform a Soul Power Fusion Skill with her. 27 221
• Huo Wu — tournament rival. Zhu Zhuqing saves her from self-inflicted cultivation damage, after which Huo Wu thanks her and declares a future challenge. 196 197
• Feng Xiaotian — tournament opponent defeated by Zhu Zhuqing in a one-on-one duel. 209 211
