Power Progression

Background / History

Family Pressure and First Tenancy

Zhu Zhuqing belongs to the Star Luo Zhu Family. Its rules leave her facing death or imprisonment at her older sister’s hands unless she becomes stronger. This threat drives her interest in Xiao Yexuan’s offer of a Simulation Pod capable of reproducing opponents—including herself 1.

Initially wary of following a stranger outside Suotuo City, she agrees to inspect Maple Forest Evening. During her trial, she defeats a simulated thousand-year Lone Wolf and repeatedly challenges a more experienced copy of herself. Although she cannot defeat the copy, she lasts longer with each attempt and finds that half an hour of training surpasses several days of her previous practice. She pays over three hundred Gold Soul Coins for a year’s rent, becoming the establishment’s first tenant 1 2 3.

After accidentally becoming trapped in a washing machine while retrieving her dagger, she calls Xiao Yexuan for help. He rescues her and later offers a Mystic Water Pill as compensation. Learning about the inn’s prize draws, she spends her remaining money on another three years of rent, hoping to obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and escape her family’s control 3 4.

Pill Sales and Rejection of Shrek Academy

To finance further draws, Zhu Zhuqing sets up a stall outside Shrek Academy on admissions day. She sells a Soul Ascension Pill and a Mystic Water Pill to Ning Rongrong for twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins, refusing Tang San’s offers of Hair Gold and a hidden weapon because she wants cash 6 7.

She explicitly refuses to enroll at Shrek Academy, criticizing its poor facilities and the leering behavior of Dai Mubai and Oscar. When Dai Mubai attempts to stop her from leaving, Ning Rongrong blocks him, and Li Yusong’s intervention forces him to back down 7.

Back at Maple Forest Evening, she spends the proceeds on rent and prize draws. Her winnings include Three Thousand Lightning Movement, a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, and eventually the Hundred Thousand Year Speed and Passion Right Leg Bone. Rather than exhaust her remaining draws immediately, she prioritizes absorbing the leg bone and consolidating her strength 8.

Conflict with Shrek Academy

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun later arrive at Maple Forest Evening to cause trouble. Zhu Zhuqing apologizes for bringing danger to Xiao Yexuan, but he reassures her that protecting tenants is his responsibility. His defeat of Dai Mubai strengthens her trust in him 12.

At Suotuo City’s Soul Fighting Arena, she partners with Ning Rongrong as the Rong-Qing Combination. They face Tang San and Xiao Wu’s Three-Five Combination. Zhu Zhuqing repeatedly strikes Xiao Wu, evades Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass and hidden weapons, protects Ning Rongrong, and disables Tang San’s arms. Xiao Wu surrenders on their behalf 15 16.

Their improvement makes Xiao Wu curious about Maple Forest Evening’s cultivation resources, helping draw her to the inn 16 17.

Forest Journey and Growing Attachment

Zhu Zhuqing accompanies Xiao Yexuan’s group into the Star Dou Great Forest. Her competition with Ning Rongrong for his attention continues during the trip, but when the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python appear, she activates Martial Soul Possession and prepares to fight rather than seek shelter 22 23 25.

After returning, she worries that she is not strong enough to stand beside Xiao Yexuan or help with the dangers facing him. She then openly confesses that she likes him and wants to be with him, bringing their relationship beyond its original landlord–tenant footing 26 27.

Third Soul Ring and Heaven Dou Journey

After developing a physique capable of handling a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Zhu Zhuqing successfully absorbs one from Xiao Yexuan and immediately asks him to train with her 37 38.

She later travels toward Heaven Dou City with Xiao Yexuan, Ning Rongrong, and Little Ah Yin as he prepares to establish a Maple Forest Evening branch in the Moonlight Pavilion. Liu Erlong joins them during the journey 46.

Appearance

• Build and complexion: Described as curvaceous and fair-skinned; the Mystic Water Pill makes her skin noticeably smoother 3 4 7.
• Martial Soul Possession: Takes on a catlike appearance, including cat ears and a black tail 3 26 38.
• Clothing: Wears a maid outfit supplied by Xiao Yexuan after the washing-machine accident; later appearances include casual clothing and a loose white dress 4 5 13.

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is reserved, solemn, and initially guarded around strangers. Her urgency to become stronger comes from a concrete desire for freedom: she wants to escape her family’s control, become a powerful Titled Douluo, and choose her own path. She is also willing to accept responsibility, initially refusing compensation for the washing-machine accident because she considers it her own mistake 1 4.

Her discipline remains strong even after obtaining valuable rewards. She stops drawing prizes to consolidate her cultivation, asks for help when a technique proves difficult, and responds to an inadequate physique by resolving to work harder. Reaching rank thirty does not make her complacent after witnessing Xiao Yexuan’s strength 8 13 16.

Around Xiao Yexuan, she becomes softer and more openly affectionate, though she remains less demonstrative than Ning Rongrong. Their rivalry makes her jealous, but her desire to contribute also leads her to prepare for combat and wish for greater strength when the inn faces outside threats 12 15 23 25 26.

• Produces lightning and thunder as she moves during combat 16.

• Ning Rongrong — Pill customer, teammate, and romantic rival. Ning Rongrong protects her from Dai Mubai, supports her in battle, and competes with her for Xiao Yexuan’s attention 7 15 16 23 38.
• Dai Mubai — Betrothed partner whom she treats with disgust. Their Martial Souls are compatible for fusion, but his attempts to control her deepen their conflict 7 12 24.
• Xiao Wu — Initially an arena opponent, later a fellow Maple Forest Evening tenant and traveling companion. Zhu Zhuqing’s improvement helps persuade her to investigate the inn 16 17 23 24.
• Tang San — Unsuccessful prospective customer and later opponent. She rejects his barter offers and defeats him during the Rong-Qing Combination’s arena match 6 7 16.
• Older sister — Unnamed family member whose threat of killing or imprisoning her motivates Zhu Zhuqing’s pursuit of strength and independence 1.
