Zhu Zhuyun

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Zhu Zhuyun was raised as the legitimate daughter of the Zhu Clan and selected to become the future Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire. The empire’s succession system turned her and her younger sister, Zhu Zhuqing, into nominal enemies: only the strongest eligible pairing could survive as heirs. 20 29 30

She pursued Zhu Zhuqing from the Star Luo Empire toward the Heaven Dou border, outwardly acting as an assassin. After defeating Zhuqing, however, Zhuyun ordered her subordinates to report that her sister had died, hoping to free her from further pursuit. When the Titan Giant Ape appeared, she carried the unconscious Zhuqing herself rather than abandon her. 20 21

Zhuyun, Zhuqing, and their subordinates were captured by the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. After being exchanged to Jiang Li, Zhuyun attempted to secure her release through her prospective status as Star Luo’s future Empress. Jiang Li instead recognized that her apparent hostility toward Zhuqing concealed a protective motive. 22 23 24

After Zhuqing contracted with Jiang Li, Zhuyun was given the choice of signing the Summoning Grimoire or remaining imprisoned in its protected space. She signed under protest, becoming Jiang Li’s fourth contractor. The simultaneous contracts triggered the evolution of both sisters’ Martial Souls. 26 27

After Jiang Li’s Summoning Grimoire evolved, Zhuyun’s Soul Power rose to level 40. She trained with Zhuqing in the Summoning Space under Qian Renxue’s guidance, gradually recognizing that her evolved Martial Soul required an assault-oriented style rather than the agility-focused methods of her former Netherworld Civet. 53

Jiang Li later gave Zhuyun the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the Immortal Herb originally associated with Dai Mubai’s altered fate. Its refinement strengthened her body, allowed her to cultivate the Indestructible Diamond Body, and enabled her to absorb an extraordinary 13,000-year fourth Soul Ring from the Blue Silver King. 70 72 76

Zhuyun eventually joined Jiang Li’s private wedding alongside Zhuqing and several other contracted women. True to her character, she uncovered her own veil before he could do so, claimed him possessively, and initiated their kiss. 148

Appearance

Zhuyun is an eighteen-year-old woman with neat short hair, a cold yet alluring demeanor, and a strong family resemblance to Zhu Zhuqing. She was first shown in fitted black leather clothing while pursuing her sister. 20 28

• White Heavenly Origin Civet Martial Soul after evolution; its original form was a blackish-purple Netherworld Civet. 27
• Her evolved Martial Soul manifests as a snow-white feline phantom. 27 28
• Possesses the bearing and political polish expected of Star Luo’s intended future Empress. 23 25
• Refining the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum further enhanced her physique and already striking appearance without changing her into a visibly muscular fighter. 70 72
• Qian Renxue’s resurrected body was similar enough in build that Jiang Li temporarily gave her one of Zhuyun’s black-purple dresses. 62

Personality

Zhuyun is politically aware, observant, and highly pragmatic. She immediately tried to use her position as the future Empress to negotiate with Jiang Li, and she carefully assessed whether his abilities could truly shield her from Star Luo retaliation. 23 26

Her ruthless image is partly deliberate. Although she pursued and defeated Zhuqing, she secretly arranged for her survival, protected her during the Titan Giant Ape incident, and later welcomed the possibility of repairing their relationship through the Twin Civet fusion. 20 21 29

She is bold and competitive in personal matters. Unlike Zhuqing’s hesitation, Zhuyun openly flirts with Jiang Li, initiates physical affection, and encourages her younger sister to fight for what she wants rather than passively wait. 27 28 37

Zhuyun is proud of her upbringing and combat education, initially resisting Qian Renxue’s criticism of her fighting style. She nevertheless accepts useful advice, recognizing that the Heavenly Origin Civet has changed her path from an agility attacker to a strength-focused assault fighter. 53

She remains possessive toward Jiang Li and regards Qian Renxue as an especially formidable romantic rival due to Qian Renxue’s strength, beauty, insight, and closeness to Zhuqing. 53 72 73

Abilities & Skills

Heavenly Origin Civet

Zhuyun’s Netherworld Civet evolved into the Heavenly Origin Civet after her contract with Jiang Li. The evolved Martial Soul shifts her specialization toward strength without discarding the agility associated with the original Civet. 27 28

• Her physical strength increases by roughly twofold after using the Heavenly Origin Civet Spirit Avatar. 28
• Retains the agility of the Netherworld Civet despite its strength-oriented evolution. 28
• Produces white Soul Power when she is injured, rapidly healing her wounds. 28
• Her evolved Martial Soul is best used through relentless, overwhelming offense rather than her former agility-oriented tactics. 53
• Its First Soul Skill, Heavenly Origin Thrust, was used through Jiang Li’s contracted manifestation to instantly incapacitate an opposing support Soul Master. 43
• Her Fourth Soul Skill is Heavenly Origin Breakthrough. When Jiang Li uses her Martial Soul with his own higher-age fourth Soul Ring, the skill’s power can greatly exceed what Zhuyun can normally produce herself. 151

Indestructible Diamond Body

After refining the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Zhuyun began cultivating an Indestructible Diamond Body suited to her assault-oriented Heavenly Origin Civet. 70 72

• The Immortal Herb substantially strengthened her physique and physical endurance. 70 76
• This enhanced constitution enabled her to absorb a 13,000-year fourth Soul Ring at level 40. 76
• Her reinforced body and superior Soul Ring quality allow her to contend evenly with Dugu Yan in sparring despite Dugu Yan’s evolved dragon Martial Soul and poison-enhancing abilities. 85

Twin Civet Fusion

Zhuyun can fuse her Heavenly Origin Civet with the complementary Earthly Origin Civet held by Zhu Zhuqing or summoned by Jiang Li. The resulting Twin Civet is a massive black-and-white beast whose appearance resembles a giant panda rather than a feline. 29 37

• With Zhu Zhuqing, the fusion can contend with Soul Masters below level 50, but Zhuqing’s lower Soul Power and their incomplete emotional compatibility severely limit its duration. 29
• With Jiang Li using Zhuqing’s Earthly Origin Civet, the fusion incorporates six Soul Rings and produces a far stronger Twin Civet. 37
• The fusion drains substantial Soul Power and must be used quickly. 29 37
• During the battle against Zhao Wuji, Jiang Li combined the fused form’s paw strike with his Golden Supreme Claw, seriously injuring the Soul Sage. 38
• The Twin Civet remains Jiang Li’s earliest known Martial Soul Fusion Skill and is later identified as an Iron-Eating Beast-like fusion avatar despite its official name. 235

Contract with the Summoning Grimoire

By signing Jiang Li’s Summoning Grimoire, Zhuyun became one of his contractors. Her Heavenly Origin Civet can be recorded, summoned, and used through Jiang Li’s Martial Soul. 26 27

• Jiang Li can borrow her Martial Soul and Soul Skills through the contract. 26 43
• The contract binds her to Jiang Li’s group and grants access to the Summoning Space, where Star Luo’s forces cannot readily reach her. 26
• Her contract, combined with Zhuqing’s, caused both sisters’ Martial Souls to evolve into complementary Twin Civet forms. 27
• Jiang Li can employ the Heavenly Origin Civet with the Soul Rings attached to his own Silver Summoning Grimoire; this allowed him to display its strength and speed with a Ten-Thousand-Year fourth Soul Ring during the Soul Master Tournament. 116 151

Equipment / Items

• Gemstone jade pendant — a Storage Soul Tool carried by Zhuyun as a Zhu Clan direct descendant. 26

Relationships

• Jiang Li — Contractor, protector, husband, and primary romantic interest. He pressured Zhuyun into signing the Summoning Grimoire, but her view of him shifted after her Martial Soul evolved; she later fights alongside him through the Twin Civet fusion and marries him. 26 27 37 38 148
• Zhu Zhuqing — Younger sister, former succession rival, fusion partner, and fellow bride. Zhuyun secretly spared and protected Zhuqing, though their history leaves Zhuqing distrustful; their evolved Martial Souls require cooperation to reach their full potential. 20 21 28 29 148
• Qian Renxue — Jiang Li’s first contractor, who recommended contracting both Zhu sisters. Qian Renxue later becomes Zhuyun’s combat mentor, but Zhuyun also regards her as the most dangerous rival for Jiang Li’s attention. 23 31 53 72
• Dai Mubai — Star Luo’s third prince. Zhuyun immediately recognized him and considered his defeat deserved, partly because his flight from Star Luo had worsened Zhuqing’s situation. 33
• Zhao Wuji — Opponent in Soto City. Zhuyun fused with Jiang Li to form the Twin Civet and helped inflict a severe injury on him before escaping. 37 38
• Dugu Yan — Fellow contractor and sparring partner. The two are closely matched after both become Soul Ancestors, with Zhuyun’s superior physique and Soul Ring quality balancing Dugu Yan’s evolved dragon Martial Soul and poison techniques. 85

Story Role / Major Arcs

Flight from Star Luo

Zhuyun chases Zhuqing under the appearance of a lethal succession conflict, but falsifies her sister’s death rather than kill her. Their journey ends in the Star Dou Great Forest, where Zhuyun’s attempt to protect Zhuqing places both sisters in the path of the forest’s overlords. 20 21

Contract and Martial Soul Evolution

After Jiang Li acquires the sisters from the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, Zhuyun becomes his contractor under coercive terms. Her contract produces the Heavenly Origin Civet and establishes the Twin Civet connection with Zhuqing. 23 26 27

Reconciliation through Fusion

Zhuyun accepts Jiang Li’s proposal to test a fusion with Zhuqing, leaving the final decision to her sister. The resulting Twin Civet proves that their bond remains viable despite their resentment, though Zhuqing’s exhaustion reveals their current incompatibility. 28 29

Conflict with Shrek Academy

In Soto City, Zhuyun witnesses Jiang Li’s defeat of Dai Mubai and joins him against Zhao Wuji. Her fusion with Jiang Li allows them to surprise and seriously wound the Soul Sage before they withdraw from the city. 33 37 38

Summoning Space Training

After the Summoning Grimoire evolves, Zhuyun reaches level 40 and trains against Zhuqing in the Summoning Space. Qian Renxue identifies that Zhuyun’s inherited agility-based methods no longer suit the assault-oriented Heavenly Origin Civet and instructs her to develop a continuous, overpowering offensive style. 53

Immortal Herb and Fourth Soul Ring

Jiang Li gives Zhuyun the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to complement her new combat path. She refines its power, cultivates the Indestructible Diamond Body, and uses her strengthened physique to absorb a 13,000-year fourth Soul Ring bestowed by the Blue Silver King. 70 72 76

Marriage to Jiang Li

Zhuyun participates in Jiang Li’s private group wedding. Upon her turn, she reveals herself before Jiang Li can lift her veil, declares that he belongs to her, and boldly kisses him. 148
