Zhu Zhuqing

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing arrived at Shrek Academy after traveling alone from the Star Luo Empire. She had initially sought out her fiancé, Dai Mubai, believing that their Martial Soul Fusion Skill might offer a way to survive the fate imposed on them. Instead, she found him indulging in a self-destructive lifestyle while she had fled under pursuit from assassins. 34 48 87

At Shrek's entrance examination, she encountered Su Ge and became interested in his composure and strength. After seeing his level and unprecedented soul-ring configuration, she began to view him as someone who might help her become stronger. 27 28 29

She later approached Su Ge directly, offering loyalty and everything she had—including her life—in exchange for the chance to grow stronger. After enduring the suppressive pressure of his martial soul without yielding, she was accepted as an investment and given ten-thousand-year Whale Glue to refine. 40

Her departure from Dai Mubai also placed her at odds with the Star Luo Empire's family and imperial succession arrangements. During the Soul Master Tournament's Grand Finals, Star Luo representatives came to Spirit City to pressure Su Ge over his support for her. 132 133

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a black-clad young woman with an exceptionally beautiful face, a cold expression, and an icy temperament. Her figure is described as striking, while her movements are notably quiet. 27 40 48

• Usually wears black clothing. 40
• Possesses a naturally cold, aloof bearing. 27 48
• Her evolved Hell Spirit Cat bears faint purple-black markings. 87
• Moves silently enough to approach others without audible footsteps. 27 48

Personality

Initially reserved and guarded, Zhu Zhuqing is defined by perseverance rather than resignation. She endured the danger of fleeing alone and refused to collapse under Su Ge's martial-soul pressure even when physically exhausted. 40 87

Her central motivation shifts from merely surviving to choosing her own life. After gaining strength and support, she rejects the future attached to her engagement with Dai Mubai and resolves to live for herself. 48 51 86

She remains concise and emotionally restrained, but shows gratitude and growing trust toward Su Ge. Her determination also makes her willing to accept painful cultivation methods when they offer a chance to raise her limits. 41 74 86

Her feelings for Su Ge become more apparent as they grow closer. She remains intent on resolving the problems tied to the Star Luo Empire and becoming strong enough not to be abandoned again. 97 112 132 133

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat

Zhu Zhuqing possesses the Hell Spirit Cat, a beast martial soul suited to agility-based combat. Following the absorption of the Purple Netherworld Immortal, the martial soul was strengthened and visibly changed with faint purple-black markings. 28 74 77 87

• Specializes in speed, stealth, close-range movement, and claw attacks. 28 48 77
• Her superior speed allowed her to close on Dai Mubai before he could properly respond. 87
• Her evolved martial soul substantially improved her combat potential. 77
• Su Ge considered the Hell Spirit Cat not especially powerful before its enhancement. 74

Soul-Ring Disruption and Claw Assault

During her match against Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing combined rapid movement with her third soul ring to tear apart the soul power surrounding his body before striking him with her claws. 87

• Bypassed Dai Mubai's attempted defense after disrupting his soul power. 87
• Inflicted two deep claw wounds across his arms and defeated him in one exchange. 87
• Her decisive advantage came from both her Soul Ancestor rank and stronger ring configuration. 87

Agility-Combat Training

As part of the Imperial Dou Team, Zhu Zhuqing trained alongside Osler as a fast attacker. Su Ge noted that agility-attack soul masters should not seek quick victories at the cost of timing. 77

• Operates effectively as a high-speed flanker or interference fighter. 29 77
• Was faster than Osler during team training. 77
• Still needed to improve her timing and coordination against stronger opponents. 77
• Later earned Su Ge's praise for swiftly eliminating an opposing support-system soul master, helping the Imperial Fighting Team end a match quickly. 117
• Against New Godwind Academy, she advanced toward Huo Wu under Ning Rongrong's buff while Xiao Wu and Osler approached from other angles. 140

Shared Cultivation

The Purple Netherworld Immortal's effect on Zhu Zhuqing and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum consumed by Su Ge created a faint connection between their beast martial souls. Their estimated compatibility is at most around ten percent—insufficient for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill—but cultivating near Su Ge substantially increases Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation speed and also benefits his recovery. She regularly seeks him out after her daily training to cultivate beside him. 112

Items

• Ten-thousand-year Whale Glue — Refined three portions, raising her from level 27 to level 29 and strengthening her potential. 40 41
• Purple Netherworld Immortal — Chosen over Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone because it better matched her attributes and had the potential to evolve her martial soul; its absorption was painful. 74
• Third soul ring — Obtained from a soul beast covertly prepared by Su Ge during the Star Dou Great Forest expedition. 45 47
• Fourth soul ring — Obtained from an eight-thousand-year soul beast after her absorption of the Purple Netherworld Immortal. 77

Relationships

• Su Ge — Benefactor, leader, and recipient of her pledged loyalty. He provided Whale Glue, arranged her soul-ring opportunities, supported her departure from Shrek, and later permitted her to settle matters with Dai Mubai. Their shared cultivation deepens their closeness, and he recognizes her feelings but asks her to settle her Star Luo affairs before they discuss a relationship. He publicly stands by her when the Star Luo royal family challenges her choice. 40 41 48 51 86 112 132 133
• Dai Mubai — Former fiancé. Zhu Zhuqing rejects his self-destructive conduct and the future attached to their engagement, then publicly defeats him in one move. 34 48 51 87
• Ning Rongrong — Fellow former Shrek student and later Imperial Dou Team member; Ning Rongrong reacts with surprise and support when Zhu Zhuqing reaches level 30. 44 51 77
• Xiao Wu — Fellow former Shrek student and Imperial Dou Team member. Xiao Wu becomes suspicious of the sudden increase in Zhu Zhuqing's strength after the Whale Glue's effects become apparent. 44 51 77
• Zhao Wuji — Former Shrek instructor who remains behind to help obtain her third soul ring after her breakthrough to level 30. 44 47
• Imperial Dou Team — Joined alongside Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong after her strength rose to level 42; the team accepted the new members without objection. 77
• Zhu Zhuyun — Older sister and member of the Star Luo Royal Academy party that confronts Su Ge in Spirit City. Zhu Zhuqing initially greets her coldly. Zhu Zhuyun shows concern as well as relief that Zhu Zhuqing has found support outside the Star Luo succession system; Su Ge suspects she may have helped her sister reach Shrek, though this is not confirmed. 131 132 133 136
• Dai Weisi — Star Luo Empire's first prince. He asserts that Zhu Zhuqing cannot choose a man outside the imperial succession arrangement and conveys the emperor's warning to Su Ge. Su Ge rejects the demand and knocks him unconscious. 132 133

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy Entrance and Awakening of Ambition

Zhu Zhuqing enters Shrek as a level 27 agility-type battle soul master. Witnessing Su Ge's level 44 cultivation and purple-purple-black-black ring configuration gives her a concrete image of the strength she seeks. 28 29

Pledge to Su Ge and Star Dou Great Forest

She seeks Su Ge's help, withstands his test of will, and pledges loyalty in return for an opportunity to become stronger. Whale Glue raises her to level 29; subsequent pressure in the Star Dou Great Forest pushes her to level 30. 40 41 44

After Su Ge prepares a suitable target, Zhu Zhuqing absorbs her third ring and becomes a Soul Elder. She later recognizes that Su Ge intends to leave Shrek and chooses to follow him. 45 47 48

Departure from Shrek

When Su Ge formally withdraws from Shrek, Zhu Zhuqing is the first student to state that she will leave with him. She directly rejects Dai Mubai's claim over her future, declaring that she sees no hope in someone content with cowardice and stagnation. 51

Heaven Dou Advancement

At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Zhu Zhuqing commits herself to cultivation. She chooses the painful Purple Netherworld Immortal because its potential martial-soul evolution offers a higher future limit. 68 74

The herb elevates her beyond level 40; after gaining an eight-thousand-year fourth ring, she reaches level 42 and joins the Imperial Dou Team. 77

Medicinal meals and cultivation near Su Ge accompany her continued progress. She reports reaching level 45 and is subsequently listed at level 46. While she grows more open about her attachment to Su Ge, he asks her to focus on gaining strength and settling her Star Luo affairs before they discuss their relationship. 112 115

During the Imperial Fighting Team's later matches, Zhu Zhuqing demonstrates her value by quickly eliminating an opposing support-system soul master. By the Grand Finals in Spirit City, she is still close to Su Ge and follows him when he leaves the opening matches. 117 134

Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi visit the team's villa to enforce the Star Luo Empire's position on her departure from its succession arrangement. Su Ge openly embraces Zhu Zhuqing, refuses their demand, and defeats Dai Weisi.
