Power Progression

Background / History

Star Luo and Shrek

Zhu Zhuqing belongs to the Zhu family, whose marriage ties bind it to the Star Luo Empire. She is betrothed to Dai Mubai, but he leaves the empire without taking her with him. She later flees Star Luo herself and joins Shrek, where she undergoes grueling weighted training 3 4 6 8.

Investigating the Mysterious Shop

After three commoners reveal powerful second martial souls at the arena, Zhu Zhuqing refuses to dismiss their account of a shop that grants power through a game. Despite opposition from her companions, she obtains permission to investigate and follows the three men on foot for two days 1 2 3.

Inside the game, she selects the White Tiger and arrives in the Heavenly Radiance Empire. Its third prince, a parallel-world Dai Mubai, recognizes her martial soul as the original form of his family’s Holy Light White Tiger. Hoping to verify his ancestor’s recorded evolution, he gives her the Sunlight Sacred Art, the ancestor’s soul-ring configuration, and a quiet courtyard for cultivation 3.

Lin Yue explains that this world is a separate, parallel Douluo Continent. There, her ancestral family founded the Netherworld Empire after evolving its martial soul into the Nine Nether Spirit Cat. Learning that her family could have followed such a different path strengthens her determination to escape the fate imposed on her 4.

Leaving Shrek

Lin Yue allows Zhu Zhuqing to cultivate in his shop and later offers her work, which she gratefully accepts. When Dai Mubai arrives and demands that she return to Shrek, she refuses. His jealousy leads him to attack Lin Yue, who effortlessly repels him 4 6.

After witnessing Shrek’s response, Zhu Zhuqing asks Lin Yue for his assessment of the academy. His criticism of its bullying, lack of registration, and Dai Mubai’s treatment of her prompts her to reconsider her loyalties. Dai Mubai’s subsequent insult extinguishes her remaining hope in him. She formally leaves Shrek and reveals her White Tiger martial soul as repayment for the academy’s past care 8.

Work at the Shop

Zhu Zhuqing becomes responsible for distributing promotional flyers, bringing customers through her Anywhere Door, serving meals, and explaining the Game Pods and Prize Machine. Her recruitment of Feng Xiaotian introduces the shop’s services to the elemental academies 16 17 18 26 31 39.

When Shrek later visits, her replacement, Xinya, accuses her of ingratitude. Zhu Zhuqing demands an apology and slaps her when she refuses. Challenged to justify leaving, she confronts Shrek over its unregistered status, Zhao Wuji’s wanted status, and its unwillingness to challenge someone stronger than itself 37.

Appearance

• Build: Slender and graceful, with delicate features and a notably cool bearing 17.
• Clothing: Wears an entirely black outfit while working in Lin Yue’s shop 6.
• White Tiger manifestation: White beast markings appear on her shoulders, accompanied by a large white tiger phantom behind her 8.

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is quiet, composed, and cautious around unfamiliar people. She nevertheless values direct investigation over accepted theory: although initially skeptical of the commoners’ story, she insists that it cannot fairly be rejected without checking the shop herself 2 3.

She is resilient and determined to become independent. The hardships of traveling on foot do not deter her, and she treats her new cultivation opportunities as a means of breaking free from her inherited circumstances. She expresses sincere gratitude for practical help, but refuses to let past loyalty excuse mistreatment or hypocrisy 3 4 6 8 37.
