Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing originated from the Zhu Family of Spirit Cat City in Star Luo. Her life was tied to the Star Luo royal succession struggle through her engagement to Dai Mubai and rivalry with her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun. She eventually fled to Heaven Dou; Zhu Zhuyun's pursuers appeared to hold back, and Zhuqing later recognized this as her sister's quiet mercy. Her second elder sister, Zhu Zhushui, also helped her leave Star Luo. 210 522

In Heaven Dou, Zhuqing became close with Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu. Their support, including Rongrong's gift of a Mind Awakening Pill, helped her regain hope and pursue cultivation without relying on Dai Mubai. 101 127

Her estrangement from the Zhu Family deepened over time. When she returned years later, she found that her former courtyard had been assigned to another disciple and that her father, Zhu Xianye, had declared her dead. She refused to rejoin the family, retrieved her mother's belongings, and chose to build her future with Ning Bei in Heaven Dou. 527 528

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a slender young woman whose normally cool demeanor softens around her closest companions and Ning Bei.

• Her Hell Spirit Cat possession forms sharp claw-like nails on her hands. 525
• Her right hand bears an External Soul Bone manifested as a vicious claw. 145
• After absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Spirit Ring, she gained a hooked tail-like External Soul Bone emerging from her spine. 428
• The God of Speed inheritance left a Divine Mark on her forehead. 531

Personality

Zhuqing is proud, restrained, and intensely self-disciplined. While her teammates advanced ahead of her, she resolved to cultivate for more than eleven double-hours each day rather than become a burden to them. She was willing to risk a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring at rank 40 because she refused to fall behind her companions. 149 163

Her past left her guarded and cold toward the Zhu Family and Dai Mubai, but she is not needlessly cruel. After defeating Zhu Zhuyun, she acknowledged her sister's past restraint and later intended to thank her for it. 210 525

Zhuqing is deeply loyal to Ning Bei, who supports her cultivation and repeatedly protects her choices. She becomes noticeably bashful when teased about their relationship, in contrast to her composed battlefield manner. 211 430 523

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul

Zhuqing's primary Martial Soul is the Hell Spirit Cat, an agility-focused Martial Soul suited to stealth, rapid movement, and precision strikes. It evolved after she absorbed the Ghost Tiger's Spirit Ring and later showed a distinct trace of dark divinity absent from Zhu Zhuyun's equivalent Martial Soul. 163 210

• Uses swift claw techniques such as Netherworld Hundred Claws and Hell Stab. 103 145
• Her speed lets her disappear from opponents' sight and strike from blind spots. 210 213
• She is stated to possess Twin Martial Souls, greatly increasing her potential. 175

Shadow Techniques

Zhuqing's fighting style centers on exploiting shadows, decoys, and sudden changes of position.

• Third Spirit Skill: Nether Slash — A high-speed slashing attack effective against both agile and heavily defended opponents. 170 212
• Fourth Spirit Skill: Netherworld Shadow Clone — Creates a clone that can bait enemy control abilities while Zhuqing repositions for an attack. 170 213
• Fifth Spirit Skill: Shadow Kill — Lets her conceal herself within shadows and travel through available shadows rather than being limited to an opponent's shadow. 173 220
• Sixth Spirit Skill: Nether Possession — A state-type ability used to strengthen her assault against the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King. 419

Right-Hand External Soul Bone

• Manifests as a claw on her right hand.
• Can increase the power of her Spirit Skills by 50%. 212

Dark Demon Evil God Hook

Her second External Soul Bone emerged after she absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring. 428

• Forms a tail with a large hook at its tip.
• Grants Life and Death Arena, which pulls Zhuqing and a target into a separate space where both return to their six-year-old states. 429
• Neither side can use Spirit Skills inside the arena, making combat technique decisive. 429 430

Seventh Spirit Ring

Zhuqing's seventh ring grants abilities inherited from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. 429

• Martial Soul Avatar — Her standard Soul Saint-level transformation. 429
• Dark Lightning Evil God Destruction — An offensive ability combining evil, space, lightning, and wind attributes. 429

God of Speed Inheritance

Hermod, the previous God of Speed, selected Zhuqing as his successor after the Black Bead among her mother's mementos activated. 528 530

• The inheritance suits her speed-based Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul.
• She must reach Quasi Soul Douluo within two years without external aid.
• Completing that prerequisite begins the God of Speed Nine Trials. 531

Relationships

• Ning Bei — Mentor, protector, and later husband. He supplied elixirs, purified and trained her Martial Soul, assisted in obtaining her Spirit Rings, and supported her decision to abandon the Zhu Family. 163 173 427 527
• Ning Rongrong — Close friend and teammate. Rongrong offered Zhuqing protection from the Star Luo Royal Family and repeatedly supported her in battle. 127 212
• Xiao Wu — Close friend and teammate who comforted Zhuqing after memories of her treatment at Shrek resurfaced. 145
• Zhu Zhuyun — Elder sister and former rival. Zhuqing defeated her in the tournament but later acknowledged that Zhuyun had shown mercy during her escape from Star Luo. 210 211 525
• Zhu Zhushui — Second elder sister who helped Zhuqing leave Star Luo. The two remain mutually supportive despite Zhuqing's final break with the Zhu Family. 522 528
• Dai Mubai — Former fiancé. Zhuqing rejected the future expected of her in Star Luo and proved she could surpass Dai Mubai and his family without him. 127 210 524
• Ning Qingxia — Daughter with Ning Bei; awakened with Innate Soul Power level 20. 577
