Background / History

Zheng Qing became widely known at Jiuyou Academy after accounts of his actions in his first Talisman class were inflated into campus rumors. The attention brought him numerous club invitations but left him irritated and overwhelmed; even Li Meng began avoiding him because of rumors involving her cousin. 93

His early aptitude for talisman work made him a conspicuous student. He could skillfully draw the basic talismans, prompting fellow students to speculate that he was an heir to the Kunlun talisman lineage. 116 Though he had received instruction from Mister Wu since childhood, Zheng Qing avoided publicly discussing his lineage at First University. 273

He organized and leads the You Zui Hunting Team. During its codename meeting, he chose “Mister,” a name that drew particular interest from Xiao Xiao. 482 As captain, he sets training schedules and pushes the team to regain discipline before the School Hunt Competition. 1936

Zheng Qing's selection as the “World” in the Great Arcana sequence provoked widespread controversy in the Wizarding World. Public reports highlighted his background and achievements, while Professor Trude, the prior World, openly challenged the Wand's selection mechanism. 922

During the Illusory Dream Realm incident, Zheng Qing accepted a gift from the King in Yellow. The resulting growth of the Forbidden Spell in his soul caused power to leak outward and greatly amplified his Talisman Gun. 1530 The growth of this power also altered his aura enough that Maodou initially failed to recognize him. 1528

During the Black Prison crisis, Zheng Qing escaped and immediately sought out Zhu Si and Xiao Xiao despite the danger outside the prison. He and the Black Cat investigated a huge gray barrier in the sky together. 1726 He later used his Talisman Gun to protect Mister Ruo Yu from Six Fingers on the Black Prison battlefield, destroying the attacker's hand and forcing them away. 1687 In the aftermath, he learned that the Black Cat was his shadow and that his Spellbook could serve as a safety valve for excess Forbidden Spell power. 1731

At the Lishan Mountain challenge, Zheng Qing faced Tu Shan Chu Jiu. His performance, Silence Bird, received high scores except from a Qingqiu Su Family judge. He defended himself with a Transformation Talisman, demonstrated instantaneous talisman fusion, and countered a Fire Rain Spell with a flock of Silence Birds without using his spellbook or incantations. 2556 2557 He ultimately won by closing into melee range, seizing Tu Shan Chu Jiu’s tail, then using a Cloud-Climbing Talisman to throw her from the Performance Stage. 2559 2560

Zheng Qing was appointed a Talisman Class teaching assistant at Edge Academy for a semester beginning February 22, 2010. 2426 His work and growing reputation later led powerful figures to consider him a legend, particularly because of his encounters with Outer Gods, survival of the Blank Land, and mastery of a new Forbidden Spell. 2943

During an Aptitude Test involving Experiment Subject Edge Seven, Zheng Qing maintained a stable resonance of roughly 60%, an unusual result that impressed the supervising wizard Alex. 2820 He later entered the Yuanshi project, attempted to stop Professor Monteria while inhabiting Edge Type-1, and used an emergency disengagement procedure to escape the dangerous situation. 2907

Under Mister's instruction, Zheng Qing activated the Book of Order with his blood and began formally learning the restrictions of his Forbidden Spell. He learned that its use requires a sacrifice, usually himself or a clone, and that other souls present risks of contamination. 2949

Zheng Qing was officially appointed Dean of Edge Academy and recognized as a Legendary Wizard. His appointment granted him broad authority over Edge Academy, a voice in First University's institutional affairs, and voting and veto rights in the Wizard Alliance Grand Wizard Council. 2991 His Legendary state is supported by Taiyi, in which his main body is anchored, making him a Side Door Legendary rather than a fully transcended conventional Legendary. 3405

He acquired the desolate Xuanhuang Small World and entrusted the You Zui Hunting Team with assisting its development. Jiang Yu took responsibility for independently planning and coordinating its ascension so that she could receive the World Origin's boon as its host. 3328 3331 The outcome of the project remains tied to Zheng Qing's prestige and his team’s prospective advancement to Grand Wizard. 3337

Personality

Zheng Qing is responsible and persistent, completing a recurring “Arms Deal” with Andrew despite an overloaded study schedule. 2868 He is also curious about the purpose of projects involving him, asking Alex about the Aptitude Test and sending the Black Gemstone Cat to seek information from Senior Colmar. 2820

In dangerous situations, he adapts quickly rather than relying on fixed plans. He uses decoys and invisibility to evade pursuit, changes tactics against stronger magic users, and is willing to use unconventional solutions when direct spellcasting is unfavorable. 1475 2559 2560

He can be socially awkward around witches, becoming stiff when Jiang Yu links arms with him and conspicuously avoiding prolonged looks at her. 302 Nonetheless, he is attentive to details, including Jiang Yu’s clothing and accessories. 302 758

Zheng Qing is uncomfortable with unwanted attention and public speculation. He concealed himself with an Invisibility Talisman to avoid interviews and intrusive visitors during his second year, even as rumors about his identity and relationships proliferated. 2439 He remains uneasy about being treated as exceptional despite his Legendary status and avoids unnecessary appearances before the Grand Wizard Council. 3025

Although initially uncertain of his worthiness, Zheng Qing has grown increasingly conscious of the responsibilities attached to his power. He accepted the Edge Academy deanship, argued for equal treatment and peaceful coexistence between Wizards and Demons, and took steps to share his Legendary protection with trusted companions. 2991 3240
