Background and History
Transmigration and Identity Binding
Qian Ran, a young man from Blue Star, arrives on Douluo Continent after a car accident, with his soul occupying Ning Rongrong’s body. After forty-nine days of adjustment, he enters Shrek Academy. The system then binds him to her identity, and the narration thereafter calls the protagonist Ning Rongrong 1.
The original Ning Rongrong’s circumstances are revealed later: she awakens on Blue Star in Qian Ran’s body. A phone message gives her the choice of erasing him or helping him. She chooses to spare him, permits the identity binding and Shrek enrollment, and supports his growth through hidden missions and generous rewards 45.
Entering Shrek Academy
Her level-26 Soul Power exempts her from the second and third entrance tests. During the final examination, she initially supports Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, then confronts Zhao Wuji herself. Using Divine Strength, Divine Speed, and two intercepted Bone-Piercing Nails, she penetrates his defense and helps secure admission for all four applicants 2 4.
Her friendship with Zhu Zhuqing develops through shared dormitory life and cultivation. When Ma Hongjun injures Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong abandons her attention to system rewards and overwhelms him with Ten Treasure Continuous Strikes. Her hostility toward Dai Mubai intensifies when he threatens them; she blocks his punch and crushes his right fist 7 8 11 18.
Flender singles her out for a restrictive fifty-lap running assignment and later tests her combat strength himself. His effort to have the sect take her home fails after Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo intervene against Zhao Wuji 14 22 25.
Star Dou Great Forest
On the journey to obtain Oscar’s third Soul Ring, Ning Rongrong defeats Ye Zhiqiu by penetrating his defenses and draining his Soul Power. She later prevents the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent from escaping and leaves Oscar to finish it and absorb its ring 29 31.
She gives Zhu Zhuqing two Immortal Herbs and a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, helping her reach level 39. She also defeats a Man Faced Demon Spider, disrupting Tang San’s original level-thirty Soul Ring acquisition. The system rewards this interference with an External Soul Bone, whose absorption raises her own cultivation to level 35 34 36 38.
Independence and Two Years of Growth
After returning to Shrek, she rejects Tang San’s proposal to exchange mechanical Hidden Weapons for his future Soul Rings. She subsequently accepts Yu Xiaogang’s challenge and defeats him with Soul-Seeking Array and Soul-Seeking Slash 40 44.
Sword Douluo offers to take her home and train her after seeing her mutated sword Martial Soul. She refuses, promises to call him if further trouble arises, and remains at Shrek with privileges allowing her to cultivate independently. Over the next two years, Yu Xiaogang avoids interfering with her, while she helps train Zhu Zhuqing 48 49 75.
Great Soul Arena and Tang Hao
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing enter Suotuo City’s Great Soul Arena as the Zhu Rong Combination. Their winning run leads to confrontations with Dai Mubai and Oscar, followed by Tang San and Xiao Wu. During these matches, Ning Rongrong reaches Soul King and demonstrates her evolved sword skills and Jade Phoenix Twin Wings 52 55 56 57 59 60.
Tang Hao later attacks her. She blocks his opening blows with the Fire-Stoking Stick, then uses her sword, defensive skills, temporary level increases, and five domains to fight back. The confrontation leaves both sides wounded and her Soul Rings temporarily unusable 63 64 65 67.
Despite that restriction, she defeats Yan with her second Martial Soul. Her reputation grows further when she defeats the seven-member Mad Team alone. Reports of her strength and Twin Martial Souls attract Bibi Dong’s interest 70 73 75 76.
Tournament Preparations and Second Trial
Ning Rongrong agrees to participate in the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament but continues prioritizing Healing Sword cultivation. Her stated aim is to complete her final hidden quest at Shrek and leave after collecting its rewards 81 82.
In the Second Trial, she faces a reflection with matching Martial Souls and skills. After recognizing its attempt to exhaust her Soul Power, she conserves her strength until its domains expire, then strikes with Teleportation and Demon Soul Strike. The reflection acknowledges its defeat and her superior mastery 83 84 85.
Appearance
- Features: Described as exceptionally beautiful; her reflection reproduces her features, eye color, and icy presence exactly 2 83.
- Clothing: Wears emerald-green clothing during the Second Trial 83.
- Eyes: Her eyes and pupils turn emerald green when illuminated by her sword or empowered during combat 20 65.
- Wings: Jade Phoenix Twin Wings manifest as enormous emerald-green wings on her back 59.
Personality
Ning Rongrong is proud, provocative, and unwilling to accept the assumption that a Support System Soul Master must remain behind stronger teammates. She enjoys startling others, taunts Tang San, and openly challenges teachers whose authority she considers undeserved. Her confidence does not eliminate caution: during the entrance examination, she keeps supporting her teammates as a fallback if her own attack fails 4 8 44.
Her concern is strongly selective. Zhu Zhuqing becomes the person she cares about most at Shrek, and seeing her injured matters more than obtaining system rewards. She also dislikes owing favors, feels guilty about Zhu Zhuqing’s scars, and seeks resources to help her. By contrast, she deliberately disrupts Tang San’s opportunities and regards the failed Hidden Weapon deal as freeing her from any obligation toward him 11 32 34 40.
Her knowledge of the original story informs both her schemes and her long-term goal of preventing future disasters for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect 1 5.
Abilities & Skills
Ten Treasures Glazed Sword
Her first Martial Soul develops from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Ten Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then mutates into an emerald-green sword. The sword preserves its support functions while adding much greater offensive power 1 13.
- Support boosts: By the Million-Year-ring stage, her Strength, Speed, and Soul Power skills each provide a fivefold boost to a target 50 54.
- Self-enhancement: Corresponding self-only skills provide stronger boosts than their support counterparts. The fifth ring’s Divine Attack grants a tenfold attack-attribute increase after its Million-Year evolution 50 61.
- Divine Strength: Initially grants a 200% attack bonus and partial defense penetration; the first ring’s early evolution raises this to a 300% bonus and 30% defense penetration 2 5.
- Divine Speed: Enhances movement, resists slowing effects, and creates a speed-altering domain. Its early suppression effect can affect even Zhao Wuji 2 4.
Sword Attacks and Soul Power Control
- Ten Treasure Continuous Strikes: An early Divine Strength trait that can trigger ten guaranteed-hit halo attacks, consuming one-third of her Soul Power. Tang San suffers its sure-hit effect when intercepting an attack intended for Ma Hongjun 5 12.
- Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash: Releases ten strikes or streams of Sword Qi. Its evolved form can restrict movement and break Tang San’s Spider Web Restraint 22 59 73.
- Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Array: Traps opponents and drains their Soul Power; she uses it to defeat Ye Zhiqiu and replenish herself while fighting Tang Hao 29 65.
- Ten Treasures Soul-Seeking Slash: Splits the Man Faced Demon Spider’s body and later sends Yu Xiaogang crashing through walls 36 44.
- Ten Treasures Demon Soul Strike: Used against Xiao Wu and as the decisive close-range attack against her reflection 59 84.
- Ten Treasures Demon Spirit Surge: Causes the remaining Mad Team members to attack one another 73.
- Ten Treasures Demon Sect Slash: Produces a broad arc of blue Sword Qi 73.
Protection and Suppression Domains
Her five domains correspond to Strength, Speed, Soul Power, Defense, and Attack. They dramatically raise her attributes while suppressing an opponent’s 84.
- Ten Treasures Protection: Grants a twentyfold defense boost. It absorbs the Mad Team’s opening assault and prevents direct damage from Tang Hao’s first Soul Skill, though his impact still knocks her back and numbs her hand 63 73.
- Soul Suppression Domain: Temporarily adds twenty Soul Power levels for three minutes and prevents Tang Hao from using Soul Skills when first deployed 64.
- Defense Suppression Domain: Negates physical attacks, reflects 100% of them, and greatly weakens opponents’ defense. Lasts up to three minutes, consumes Soul Power rapidly, and leaves its ring unusable for one day 49.
- Combined-domain limit: Maintaining all five domains drains Soul Power too quickly for her to sustain their full three-minute duration during the Tang Hao battle 65.
Fire-Stoking Stick
Her second Martial Soul appears to be an ordinary fire poker, but its attack and defense approach infinity without limit 70 83.
- Blocks Tang Hao’s Soul Power strike and Clear Sky Hammer blow 63.
- Sends Yan flying and sweeps Mad Rhino off the arena platform 70 73.
- Cannot acquire Soul Rings 76.
- Is slower than her Soul Skill-enhanced sword in the reflection battle; its overwhelming power does not automatically let her land a hit on Tang Hao 63 84.
Jade Phoenix Twin Wings and Mobility
- Jade Phoenix Twin Wings: External Soul Bone ability providing flight and a means of escaping Tang San’s control effects 59.
- Glazed Space-Breaking Stance: Temporarily raises Soul Power by twenty levels for five minutes. Its boost changes with her cultivation 38.
- Stacking: Combining the stance with Soul Suppression Domain raises her from level 52 to level 92, but does not supply the missing sixth through ninth ring skills 64.
- Other movement skills: Possesses Flight through her second ring and Teleportation, used to evade Xiao Wu and ambush her reflection 32 59 84.
Healing Pagoda / Healing Sword and System
- Cultivation method: Repeatedly guides Soul Power up and down her Martial Soul. The method is introduced as Healing Pagoda and becomes Healing Sword after the mutation 6 20.
- Growth and rewards: Improves attributes, including Soul Power, and produces system rewards through accumulated repetitions 6 20.
- Limits: Early practice exhausts her Soul Power and causes her Martial Soul to vanish. She cannot meaningfully teach the system-specific method to Zhu Zhuqing 7.
- System resources: Receives missions, Identity Points, Soul Ring age increases, Martial Soul transformations, and access to a System Shop 1 5 13 32.
- Hidden quests: Uses knowledge of the original story to recognize opportunities for rewards and alter Tang San’s expected acquisitions 32 36.
Equipment / Items
- Glazed Tile spatial soul tool — A glazed-tile bracelet worn on her left wrist, emitting faint green light. Stores resources including Soul Rings and Immortal Herbs 20 34.
