Power Progression

Background / History

Born into the Zhu Clan’s main branch, Zhu Zhuqing was bound to a Star Luo imperial prince through the clan’s marriage system. Under its succession rules, only one prince and one Zhu Clan daughter are meant to survive to become emperor and empress; the losing prince’s intended wife is expected to die as well. 21

Zhuqing fled the Star Luo Empire after concluding that her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun, was targeting her following the death of their younger sister, Zhu Zhuxin. She hired a five-person Soul Master escort squad for 5,000 Gold Soul Coins, but the squad’s leader abandoned the contract to hunt a Sawtooth Shark Soul Beast. 25 26

Without her escorts, Zhuqing was caught by Zhu Clan pursuers near Waterfall City. An elderly six-ring Soul Master pinned her to a tree with a Shock Arrow and prepared to execute her, but Hai Ming, Sea Dragon Douluo, and Little White intervened. 21 22

Hai Ming freed Zhuqing despite worsening her chest wound by removing the arrow. Little White provided emergency soul-power support, then brought her to Waterfall City for treatment. Hai Ming arranged for Qian Yin and Qian Yu—former Sea God Island trial participants—to care for her during her recovery. 22 23 25

After nearly half a month of recuperation, Zhuqing continued toward the Heaven Dou Empire under the protection of Qian Yin, Qian Yu, and their father. 27

After reaching Shrek Academy, Zhuqing reunited with Dai Mubai and became one of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Her dissatisfaction with Dai’s flight from Star Luo deepened as she learned that he had abandoned the succession struggle while she had remained exposed to the Zhu Clan’s pursuit. 39 45 48

Hai Ming later brought Zhuqing to Slaughter City, believing that its pervasive killing intent could awaken the “hell” aspect of her Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul. There, she developed a far more lethal fighting style, obtained powerful Soul Bones and Immortal Herbs, and began advancing at an extraordinary rate. 102 104 105 110 111

On Sea God Island, Zhuqing received the Black-Level Eight Trials and underwent extensive training under the Sea God’s Light, Bo Saixi, Tang Chen, Hai Ming, and Little White. Her divine cultivation eventually led her to inherit the Asura God’s power and become a god. 131 145 154 165 267

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a cool, glamorous young woman with long black hair and a notably reserved bearing. 26 44

• Typically wears black clothing. 21
• Her Hell Spirit Cat possession produces cat ears and a tail. 21 146
• Moves with the speed of a black shadow when attacking. 21
• Her outwardly aloof demeanor can conceal embarrassment and emotional uncertainty. 25 26
• Following her divine inheritance, her Soul Bone set transformed into dark Divine Armor patterned in red, while the Shura God Sword fused with her Phantom Demon Whip. 267
• She later manifested an Asura Armor form while traveling with Hai Ming in another world. 407

Personality

Zhuqing is proud, guarded, and exceptionally determined. Even while exhausted, injured, and isolated from her family, she refuses to submit to the role imposed on her by the Zhu Clan. 21 25

She is deeply affected by Dai Mubai’s abandonment of the Star Luo succession struggle, but her journey to the Heaven Dou Empire is as much a search for personal closure as an attempt to find her nominal fiancé. 26

Although normally cold and restrained, Zhuqing is capable of gratitude and loyalty. She keeps Hai Ming’s connection to Ning Rongrong’s missing jade pendant secret because he saved her life, even when Ning Rongrong presses her for answers. 22 39

Hai Ming regards Zhuqing as someone without extraordinary innate advantages who continues striving through sheer effort, distinguishing her perseverance from the advantages enjoyed by more gifted Soul Masters. 23

Zhuqing’s experiences in Slaughter City sharpened her decisiveness and killing intent, though she continues to value self-control and refuses to let brutality erase her compassion. 104 105 225

She is empathetic toward people trapped by powerlessness and family abuse. She aids Xue Ke against Spirit Hall because the empress’s isolation recalls Zhuqing’s own flight from the Zhu Clan. 232 233

Despite her increasing strength and divinity, Zhuqing remains diligent and self-critical. She repeatedly accepts dangerous training, seeks to stand beside Hai Ming rather than depend entirely on his protection, and later becomes a conscientious master to Little Fairy Doctor. 145 165 230 362

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat

Zhuqing’s Hell Spirit Cat, also called the Netherworld Spirit Cat, is a beast martial soul that grants feline traits and supports her role as an agility-attack-system Soul Master. 21 102 203

• Possession manifests cat ears, a tail, and a heightened feline presence. 21 146
• She can launch herself forward with sudden, shadow-like speed. 21
• She possessed two yellow Soul Rings during her escape from the Star Luo Empire. 21
• Her martial soul and soul power were initially disadvantaged against the Imperial Battle Team’s Ghost Leopard agility specialist, whose martial soul was described as superior to that of the Black Panther pursuers Zhuqing previously faced. 45
• Hai Ming theorized that the martial soul’s “hell” potential had not been properly developed before her training in Slaughter City. 102
• The Hell Spirit Cat is ultimately tied to an ancient Evil God influence inherited through Zhuqing’s family line. 203

Soul Skills

• Hell Hundred Claws — Her second Soul Skill, a rapid claw assault capable of breaking through Ma Hongjun’s Phoenix Cloud-Piercing Strike and defeating him in moments. 208
• Hell Stab — A high-speed, piercing strike that becomes especially dangerous when enhanced by her Soul Bones and Martial Soul Avatar. 154 209
• Dark Thunder — Black lightning Zhuqing learned to manipulate with increasing precision through her connection with Hai Ming. It can be used for offense, defense, battlefield control, and in combination techniques. 147 153
• Voidification — Her fifth Soul Skill, derived from the Demon-Eyed Beast. It renders her untargetable for a limited duration, enabling her to ignore defense and attack freely. 111 126
• Netherworld Possession — Her sixth Soul Skill transforms her into haze for ten minutes, allowing flight, immunity to physical attacks, a 20% increase to most attributes, and a 100% speed increase. 145 210
• Sea Emperor’s Attachment — The hidden second ability of Zhuqing’s sixth Soul Ring. She attaches herself to an ally, increasing the target’s non-speed attributes by 10% and speed by 30%, granting flight, and allowing her to use Soul Skills alongside the target. Its conditions and nature make it especially suited to supporting Hai Ming. 145 146
• Netherworld Rakshasa Avatar — Her seventh Soul Skill and Martial Soul Avatar. It doubles all attributes for thirty minutes, allows one hour of cost-free use of lower Soul Skills, can be used six times daily, and produces black mist that obstructs enemy Soul Power circulation. 203 209
• Phantom Demon Clone, Nightmare Eyes — Her eighth Soul Skill creates a clone with 80% of her strength and can trap weaker-minded opponents in powerful illusions. The clone can cultivate independently and return part of its gains to Zhuqing. 229
• Netherworld Rakshasa Avatar — Her seventh Soul Skill and Martial Soul Avatar. It doubles all attributes for thirty minutes, allows one hour of cost-free use of lower Soul Skills, can be used six times daily, and produces black mist that obstructs enemy Soul Power circulation. 203 209

Soul Bones and Divine Equipment

• Swift Wind-Chasing Left Leg Bone — Grants Gale Chapter, a semi-passive enhancement that doubles Zhuqing’s speed while consuming Soul Power. Because it functions as a Soul Bone enhancement rather than an ordinary Soul Skill, it remained usable in Slaughter City. 104
• Evil Spirit Orca Right Leg Bone — Grants Evil Spirit’s Fury, which increases her speed by 67% and proportionally raises her other attributes. When combined with Gale Chapter, it can raise her combat power to Little White’s level. 153 154
• Ghost Leopard Left Arm Soul Bone — An eighty-thousand-year Soul Bone given to Zhuqing by Tang Chen, completing most of her Soul Bone set. 216
• Phantom Starfish King Soul Bone — Grants a soul-attacking shockwave and complete invisibility through light refraction. Its shockwave is limited by Zhuqing’s comparatively weaker spiritual power, but its invisibility is highly effective. 225 229
• Phantom Demon Whip — An External Soul Bone that enhances Nightmare Eyes and later fused with the Shura God Sword during Zhuqing’s divine inheritance. 229 267
• Shura God Sword — A divine weapon used by Zhuqing during her Asura God Examination. It can harm opponents whose regeneration and durability would otherwise negate her attacks and allows her to employ the Asura Domain. 225 235
• Divine Armor — Her Soul Bone set became dark, red-patterned Divine Armor after she completed the ninth Asura trial. 267

Domains

• Divine Slaughter’s Domain — A killing-intent domain developed through Slaughter City. It can counter other domains, exert severe mental pressure, and enhance Zhuqing’s lethal presence. 126 153 209
• Asura Domain — A domain wielded through the Shura God Sword, used to resist Da Ming’s Slow Domain and overcome restrictions on her mobility. 235

Soul Skill Fusion Techniques

Zhuqing possesses an unnamed martial soul fusion technique with Dai Mubai, but their unresolved emotional conflict prevents Shrek from reliably using it as a trump card. 44 45

• Zhuqing is visibly anxious when the technique is discussed before Shrek’s battle with the Imperial Battle Team. 44
• During the match, Dai repeatedly seeks her support, but Zhuqing refuses to respond. 45
• Master concludes that a spirit fusion skill cannot function as a dependable trump card when the users’ relationship remains fractured. 45

Zhuqing later developed a separate Soul Skill Fusion Technique with Hai Ming through the compatibility of Sea Emperor’s Attachment and Dark Thunder. 146 147

• Netherworld Annihilation Thunder — A fusion of Zhuqing’s Dark Thunder and Hai Ming’s Thunder Soul Skill, producing destructive black lightning powerful enough to require Bo Saixi’s ninth Soul Skill to neutralize. 147
• While attached to Hai Ming, Zhuqing’s enhancement helped raise his already amplified combat ability to the Peak Douluo realm. 147

Combat Style

Zhuqing originally relied heavily on speed and successive strikes, but Tang Chen trained her to prioritize the agility-attack system’s core principle: deliver a decisive blow, then withdraw before the enemy can retaliate. 165

Her later fighting style combines extreme mobility, intangibility, teleportation-like movement, Dark Thunder, domains, illusion, invisibility, and assassination techniques. This versatility enables her to overpower ordinary Titled Douluo and dismantle coordinated groups of former Shrek teammates. 209 210 233 235

Relationships

• Hai Ming — Rescuer, husband, cultivation partner, and closest companion. He saved Zhuqing from the Zhu Clan’s pursuers, arranged her recovery in Waterfall City, provided her with Immortal Herbs, Soul Rings, Soul Bones, and divine-training opportunities, and remains central to her growth. Their relationship developed from teasing familiarity and mutual trust into an openly acknowledged romance and marriage. 22 23 44 48 110 145 154 271 362
• Dai Mubai — Former nominal fiancé through the Star Luo-Zhu Clan marriage arrangement. Zhuqing sought answers about his flight from the succession struggle, but became openly distant after learning more about his conduct. Their fractured relationship prevented the reliable use of their martial soul fusion technique. 21 26 39 45 48
• Ning Rongrong — Former Shrek teammate and friend. Ning helped Zhuqing enter Shrek Academy and investigate Dai Mubai, but repeatedly pressured her for information about her missing jade pendant. They later reunited warmly, with Ning teasing Zhuqing about her relationship with Hai Ming. 39 40 208
• Tang Chen — Teacher and mentor. Tang Chen trained Zhuqing in Ring Detonation, decisive agility-attack combat, and high-level combat awareness. He also gave her an eighty-thousand-year Ghost Leopard left arm Soul Bone. 165 216 230
• Bo Saixi — Teacher and maternal figure on Sea God Island. Bo Saixi supervised Zhuqing’s Sea God Trial cultivation and showed her a warmth Zhuqing had not experienced within the Zhu Clan. 137 145
• Little White — Trial opponent and training partner. Zhuqing repeatedly fought Little White for over a year, eventually defeating her to complete the second Black-Level Eight Trial. 153 154
• Qian Yin — Caretaker in Waterfall City. She nursed Zhuqing through fever, blood loss, and internal injuries after Hai Ming’s rescue. 25
• Qian Yu — Qian Yin’s cousin and Zhuqing’s escort. She became protective of Zhuqing and bluntly encouraged her to abandon Dai Mubai. 25 26 27
• Zhu Zhuyun — Elder sister and rival in the Zhu Clan’s succession system. Zhuqing believes Zhuyun arranged the pursuit intended to kill her, and later confronted her alongside Dai Weisi. 21 25 83
• Sea Dragon Douluo and Little White — Hai Ming’s companions who helped save her. Sea Dragon defeated the Black Panther Soul Kings, while Little White captured the fleeing Soul Emperor and sustained Zhuqing with soul power. 22 23
• Hai Ming’s parents — Zhuqing was warmly received by Hai Ming’s family, particularly his mother, who treats her as a future daughter-in-law. Zhuqing reciprocates their affection and regards Hai Ming’s household as a genuine family. 154 155 271
• Asura God — Divine patron and predecessor. Zhuqing completed the Asura God Examination, inherited his divine power, and continues to identify publicly with the Asura lineage. 229 267 362
• Xue Ke — Ally and fellow survivor of political oppression. Zhuqing aided Xue Ke against Spirit Hall’s control of the Heaven Dou imperial palace because she recognized her own former helplessness in the empress’s circumstances. 232 233
• Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue — Former political adversaries with whom Zhuqing later developed a cautious, more cordial relationship. Zhuqing compassionately explained Bibi Dong’s trauma to Qian Renxue and helped her reassess their mother-daughter relationship. 244 246 271
• Little Fairy Doctor — Disciple. After Hai Ming cured Little Fairy Doctor’s Woeful Poison Body, Zhuqing accepted her as a disciple and established the Asura sect’s lineage. 362
• Zi Yan, Xiao Xun’er, and Nalan Yanran — Later disciples or junior members of Zhuqing’s Asura lineage. Zhuqing regards them with differing degrees of concern and approval, particularly valuing diligence and self-driven growth. 362 367 397

Story Role / Major Arcs

Flight from the Star Luo Empire

Zhuqing’s failed escape plan leaves her vulnerable to Zhu Clan hunters. Pinned to a tree and critically wounded, she is rescued by Hai Ming’s group before the pursuers can execute her. 21 22

Recovery in Waterfall City

While recovering under Qian Yin and Qian Yu’s care, Zhuqing recounts her family conflict and the failure of her hired escort squad. The sisters’ accounts of Hai Ming’s past kindness and courage cause her to compare him with Dai Mubai. 25 26

Arrival at Shrek Academy

After reaching the Heaven Dou Empire, Zhuqing encounters Seven Treasure Glazed Sect members searching for Ning Rongrong’s jade pendant. Ning eventually brings her to Shrek Academy and provides information on Dai Mubai, while Zhuqing conceals that she saw the pendant on Hai Ming’s folding fan. 39

Imperial Battle Team Match

Zhuqing fights as part of the Shrek Seven Monsters against the Imperial Battle Team. She is held back by the opposing Ghost Leopard agility specialist and requires Ning Rongrong’s support, while her refusal to cooperate with Dai prevents their fusion technique from being used. 45

Hai Ming’s Return

Hai Ming’s reappearance in Soto City highlights Zhuqing’s connection to him and intensifies Dai Mubai’s insecurity. Zhuqing later defends Hai Ming’s overwhelming strength to the Shrek Seven Monsters and joins their attempted seven-versus-one sparring match against him. 44 48 49 50

Slaughter City Training

Hai Ming brings Zhuqing into Slaughter City to awaken the latent potential of her Hell Spirit Cat. Unable to use conventional Soul Skills in the Hell Slaughter Arena, Zhuqing adapts through speed, close-combat judgment, Soul Bone enhancements, and a gradually intensifying killing intent. 100 102 104

Her first arena battle forces her to confront stronger opponents while only rank 39. She activates Gale Chapter, doubles her speed, and survives a melee involving two Soul Kings. 104 105

Rapid Soul King Advancement

Hai Ming gives Zhuqing the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, a ten-thousand-year Thunderclap Leopard Soul Ring, a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, and the Demon-Eyed Beast Soul Ring. These resources raise her from rank 39 to Soul King in an extraordinarily short period, though she subsequently spends time stabilizing her power through combat. 105 108 109 110 111

Sea God Island Trials

Zhuqing receives the Black-Level Eight Trials and pushes herself through the Sea God’s Light, repeatedly enduring harsh pressure to raise her cultivation. Her determination allows her to obtain a red sixth Soul Ring, though Hai Ming worries that her nearly constant training is damaging her health. 131 137 145

Her second trial requires her to endure Little White for one hour without using her fifth- or sixth-ring Soul Skills. After a year of weekly challenges, she defeats Little White using Dark Thunder, Evil Spirit’s Fury, and Hell Stab, completing the assessment. 145 153 154

Partnership with Hai Ming

Zhuqing’s sixth Soul Ring manifests the hidden Sea Emperor’s Attachment because her deepest wish during absorption was to remain beside Hai Ming and advance with him. The ability makes her an active combat partner rather than merely an ally under his protection. 145 146

She and Hai Ming test this connection against Bo Saixi and Tang Chen, where their combined Dark Thunder produces Netherworld Annihilation Thunder. 146 147

Shrek Second Assessment Spar

As the opponent for the Shrek group’s second Sea God assessment, Zhuqing demonstrates how far she has surpassed her former teammates. She defeats Ma Hongjun in three seconds, then dismantles the combined formation of Tang San, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Bai Chenxiang, and Wang Ke’er. 208 209 210

After the spar, she analyzes Shrek’s tactical failures and advises Tang San to stop relying on ineffective early Blue Silver Grass skills. 210

Nether Douluo and Asura Trials

After completing her eighth Sea God Trial and obtaining the Phantom Starfish King’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone, Zhuqing enters seclusion and becomes the youngest female Titled Douluo, receiving the title Nether Douluo. 225 229

Her third Asura trial requires her to defeat ten Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and ten Titled Douluo. She defeats Sea God Island’s powerful guardians and Soul Beasts, later defeating Er Ming, Da Ming, and the Frost Bear while learning the limits of her agility-centered combat against exceptionally durable enemies. 230 235

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace Intervention

Zhuqing aids Xue Ke against Spirit Hall’s control of the Heaven Dou imperial palace. She overwhelms Yin-Yang Douluo and Ghost Axe Douluo with Thunder Lock and Dark Thunder, preventing their Martial Soul Fusion from being used and personally punishing them for their crimes against the palace maids. 232 233

Her subsequent defeat of Sword Douluo without the Shura God Sword confirms that she has surpassed the ordinary Titled Douluo level. 234

Asura God Inheritance

During the Wandering Soul Seven Slaughters, Zhuqing is forced to confront illusory versions of her family, Shrek past, Hai Ming, Star Luo, desire, and ultimately herself. She passes the final trial by killing herself within the illusion, preserving her humanity despite the examination’s attempt to sever worldly attachments. 258

Zhuqing later completes the ninth Asura trial. Her Soul Bones become Divine Armor, the Shura God Sword fuses with her Phantom Demon Whip, and she becomes a god. 267 270

Marriage and Cross-World Travels

Zhuqing and Hai Ming announce their wedding plans to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, with Sea God Island preparing to host a ceremony for close friends and allies. Zhuqing rejects her former Zhu Clan ties and instead embraces the family she has built with Hai Ming and his relatives. 271

As Hai Ming’s wife and divine partner, Zhuqing accompanies him through multiple worlds. She establishes the Asura sect, accepts Little Fairy Doctor as her disciple, and continues mentoring the next generation of exceptional cultivators. 362 367 397
