Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing is a young woman of the Star Luo Empire’s Zhu Clan. Her innate soul power was only level seven, leaving her with a comparatively weak natural foundation and a limited expected ceiling without outside intervention. 31

She is first encountered fleeing through the Star Dou Great Forest while injured and pursued by five black-clad men. Refusing to be captured, she is saved when Qiangu Aoshi kills her pursuers. His subsequent crude offer of protection enrages her, and she escapes rather than accept it. 1

When she encounters Qiangu Aoshi again alongside Shrek Academy, she hesitates over his repeated offer while Dai Mubai reacts violently. After Qiangu defeats Dai, strips away his martial soul, and grants its White Tiger martial soul to Zhu Zhuqing, she accepts Qiangu’s protection and acknowledges him as her master. The transfer makes her the first known person to gain twin martial souls after birth. 3 4

Zhu Zhuqing quickly commits herself to Qiangu Aoshi, fighting Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu when they oppose him. She later accepts soul-power orbs taken from Dai Mubai to accelerate her cultivation, viewing Qiangu’s strength and patronage as her path beyond the limitations of her original talent. 5 6 7

After returning to Spirit Hall, she moves into Qiangu Aoshi’s private courtyard. Qianjun Douluo and Demon-Subduing Douluo promise that Spirit Hall will protect her from any pressure from the Zhu Clan or Dai family, resolving her fears about her former obligations. 9

Her cultivation later advances through two major transformations: acquiring a third soul ring from a Ghost Leopard, then receiving the Lovesick Heartbroken Red at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The herb remolds her body, raises her talent, and allows the White Tiger martial soul to fuse deeply enough for her to use the self-body martial soul fusion skill Netherworld White Tiger. 18 31 32

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a striking Zhu Clan girl distinguished by heterochromatic eyes and a cold, beautiful bearing. Her usual combat attire is tight leather battle clothing, though she also wears purple casual dresses while residing in Spirit Hall. 1 11

• Heterochromatic eyes. 1
• Noted for a frosty expression and aloof demeanor when threatened. 1
• Moves with the speed and stealth associated with her Netherworld Spirit Cat martial soul. 1 5
• Emits black-and-white soul power while using Netherworld White Tiger. 32

Personality

Initially guarded and distrustful of men, Zhu Zhuqing responds to her pursuers’ threats and Qiangu Aoshi’s first approach with cold hostility. She is nevertheless pragmatic: Qiangu’s ability to protect her, grant her a second martial soul, and improve her cultivation persuades her to place herself at his side. 1 3 4

Once she accepts Qiangu as her master, Zhu Zhuqing is intensely loyal. She opposes her former companions without being ordered to do so and openly frames her role as placing her master’s interests above her own. 5

She is ambitious about cultivation and acutely aware of her own talent limitations. She seeks stronger resources, readily absorbs available soul power, and embraces the Lovesick Heartbroken Red as a chance to rebuild her foundation. 6 15 31

Her devotion is accompanied by insecurity and jealousy, particularly toward Qian Renxue, whom she regards as a threat to her position beside Qiangu Aoshi. Despite gaining the option to become a formal subordinate, Zhu Zhuqing chooses to retain her unique status as his pet. 28 30 33

Abilities & Skills

Netherworld Spirit Cat

Zhu Zhuqing’s original martial soul specializes in speed, stealth, and assassin-style combat.

• Netherworld Thrust — Her first soul skill; she uses it to rapidly target Ning Rongrong during the conflict with Shrek Academy. 5
• Netherworld Slash — Third soul skill obtained from a 3,000-year Ghost Leopard; its power can threaten a four-ring Soul Ancestor. 18
• Netherworld Shadow Clone — Fourth soul skill acquired from a 7,000-year Ghost Tiger. 37
• Uses high mobility to prioritize vulnerable support-type opponents. 5

White Tiger Martial Soul

Qiangu Aoshi grants Zhu Zhuqing the White Tiger martial soul after stripping it from Dai Mubai, making her an artificial twin-martial-soul wielder. 4

• Raises her combat potential beyond that of the Netherworld Spirit Cat alone. 6
• Serves as one half of the Netherworld White Tiger fusion. 4
• Later merges deeply with her soul under the effects of the Lovesick Heartbroken Red. 32

Netherworld White Tiger

A self-body martial soul fusion skill created by combining Zhu Zhuqing’s Netherworld Spirit Cat and White Tiger martial souls. 32

• Gives her the potential to dominate opponents of the same rank. 32
• Retains most of the original fusion skill’s power. 33
• Limit: Its endurance is poor because Zhu Zhuqing alone must provide the soul power normally supplied by two users; the transformation lasts for less than three minutes. 33

Reforged Physique

• Repairs deficiencies in her innate foundation. 31
• Greatly improves her vitality and cultivation potential. 31 32

Relationships

• Qianjun Douluo — Qiangu Aoshi’s first father; promises that Spirit Hall will protect Zhu Zhuqing from the Star Luo Zhu and Dai families. 9
• Demon-Subduing Douluo — Qiangu Aoshi’s second father; joins Qianjun in assuring her of protection and urging lifelong loyalty to Qiangu. 9
• Qian Renxue — Rival for Qiangu Aoshi’s affection and attention; Zhu Zhuqing treats her presence with open hostility and jealousy. 28 30
• Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu — Former Shrek companions whom Zhu Zhuqing fights after choosing Qiangu Aoshi’s side. 5
