Background / History
Before Ning Rongrong awakened her Martial Soul, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong expected her to inherit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The Martial Soul's dominant bloodline ensured that descendants of the sect would awaken it regardless of the other parent's Martial Soul, but its seven-ring limit prevented users from advancing beyond Level 79. Ning Fengzhi feared that even exceptional talent would not overcome this flaw. 490
Spirit Hall had already identified Rongrong as a potential means to draw down the Nine-Colored Goddess's God Position. Tian Hao's stated first step was to evolve her Martial Soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, thereby giving her the potential to become a Titled Douluo and qualify for a God's Trial. 490
At twelve, Rongrong entered Shrek Academy on her father's arrangement, with a family elder secretly accompanying her. She immediately recognized Tang San as the person connected to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's agreement with the Clear Sky Sect. 555 558
Teacher Yue accepted Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as his disciples after testing their emotions with Sword Intent. Under his instruction, Rongrong developed her support Martial Soul into a viable combat style, learned Purple Haze techniques, and trained her Distraction Control Method alongside Zhu Zhuqing. 556 560
Appearance
Ning Rongrong has a petite build and is conscious of practical combat attire, wearing tight leather clothing and tying up her hair for mobility during her first solo Spirit Arena match. 561
- In her Human-Weapon Unity form, violet-blue Battle Armor covers her body while her bones and skin gain diamond-like properties. 580
- This form manifests a Diamond Shield and a diamond longsword. 580
- Her Pagoda and Gem Soul Bone techniques produce multicolored or violet-blue radiance. 614 642
Personality
Rongrong is composed, perceptive, and unusually difficult to embarrass. When Oscar's sausage incantations unsettled the other applicants, she calmly assessed both him and his food instead of reacting to the lewd wording. 555
She is also politically aware and calculating. She openly disclosed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's alliance with the Clear Sky Sect to Tang San, framed the Shrek students' shared interests, and consistently evaluated how teammates could become liabilities or assets in future conflicts. 558 560
Despite her bluntness, she actively works to improve the team. She proposed the age-based brother-and-sister ranking system, advocated Tang San's battlefield command role, and used her Mental Link to coordinate allies. 568
Abilities & Skills
Seven Treasure / Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda
Rongrong's Martial Soul is a support-type Pagoda whose enhancement skills can increase an ally's power, speed, Soul Power, and other attributes.
- Simultaneously applies Power, Speed, and Soul Power boosts to multiple allies. 556
- Her Pagoda's support effects are powerful enough for Tang San to call it the continent's foremost support-type Martial Soul. 556
- After reaching a higher level, she can activate her enhancement skills without reciting Soul Incantations. 642
- Her evolved Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is described as a God-level Martial Soul. 631
- The Martial Soul originally possessed no innate offensive or defensive ability of its own. 558
Self-Amplification
Teacher Yue taught Rongrong to overcome the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's traditional restriction against buffing its own user.
- Uses her second Soul Skill on herself to raise speed and agility by forty percent. 561
- Applies support effects to herself as the foundation for close-quarters combat. 559
- Relies on speed rather than strength amplification, as her physical constitution makes the latter less useful. 560
Distraction Control Method
Rongrong has cultivated her sect's secret control art to the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart realm, allowing her to divide her attention among seven simultaneous tasks. 558
- Controls seven water extensions to clean an entire residence at once. 557
- Maintains Pagoda buffs while practicing movement techniques. 560
- Uses her Hundred Thousand Year Head Soul Bone to establish a Mental Link for instant team communication. 568
- Later controls the Void Sword Formation with ease. 614
Purple Haze Techniques
Under Teacher Yue, Rongrong cultivates Purple Haze Meditation, Purple Haze Soul Power, and Purple Haze Steps. 560
- Purple Haze Soul Power improves sensory perception and enables finer Soul Power control. 560
- Purple Haze Steps lets her evade attacks beyond the expectations for a Support System Soul Master. 561
- Won her first solo Spirit Arena match by avoiding a Strength-Type opponent for half an hour until his Soul Power was depleted. 561
- Her teacher considers the technique more profound than Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, though she initially lacks proficiency. 561
Human-Weapon Unity and Gem Combat
Rongrong can merge her Pagoda into herself through Human-Weapon Unity, converting a support Martial Soul into a combat form. 580
- Temporarily gives her diamond-like bones, diamond skin protection, a shield, and a longsword. 580
- Forms and controls Gem Flying Swords, including the Void Sword Formation. 614 643
- Uses flying swords both for aerial mobility and defensive interception of Sword Qi. 614 643
- Her Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique is based on her own Soul Skills; it is limited by her Soul Power and cannot be maintained for long. 623
Soul Bone Set
Rongrong possesses a powerful set of Gem Soul Bones.
- Her Hundred Thousand Year Head Soul Bone enhances her spiritual power and supports Mental Link communication. 560 568
- Teacher Yue gives her nine Gem Soul Bones as an investment in her future. 577
- She later worries that the refined Gem Soul Bones may contain hidden measures and seeks Gu Rong's help. 579
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Storage Soul Tool — A high-grade wrist-mounted storage tool carried when she enrolls at Shrek Academy. 555
- Godly Zhuge Crossbow — Received from Tang San for self-defense. 571
- Diamond shield and longsword — Manifested through Human-Weapon Unity rather than carried conventionally. 580
- Gem Flying Swords — Controlled through her Distraction Control Method and Void Sword Formation. 614 643
Relationships

- Leng Qing'er — Mother; she discusses Rongrong's future with Tian Hao and is concerned about Spirit Hall's plans for her daughter. 490

- Teacher Yue / Tian Hao — Her teacher and mentor; he accepts her as a disciple, teaches her combat-oriented cultivation, and repeatedly tests or guides her growth. 556 559 577
- Zhu Zhuqing — Fellow disciple, close confidante, and cultivation partner; they train the Distraction Control Method, Purple Haze techniques, and close-combat foundations together. 560
- Tang San — Teammate and political ally through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's agreement with the Clear Sky Sect; Rongrong trusts his talent but remains wary of his calculating nature. 558
- Tang Chen — An elder Rongrong calls grandfather; he believes she has established the foundation to become a god. 582
- Dai Mubai — Shrek teammate and captain; Rongrong openly rebukes his lecherous behavior but cooperates with him in battle. 556 568

Shrek Academy Enrollment
Rongrong enters Shrek Academy with Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing. Her composure around Oscar and her immediate recognition of Tang San mark her as markedly different from an ordinary sheltered sect heiress. 555
Teacher Yue's Disciple
She passes Teacher Yue's emotional test alongside Zhu Zhuqing, becomes his disciple, and begins adapting her support Martial Soul for self-protection and direct combat. 556 559
Canghui Academy Deal

Shrek Team Strategist
She proposes the team's age-based ranking, supports Tang San as battlefield commander, and provides the Mental Link needed for rapid coordination. 568
Soul Master Competition
Rongrong deploys Gem Flying Swords and the Void Sword Formation in the competition, serving as an airborne support and defensive core. She later reveals that her Pagoda-based Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique is more sophisticated than Yu Xiaogang's proposed fusion. 614 615
Shattered Pagoda and Restoration
During an ambush by the Spirit Hall Empire, Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Nine Treasures Invincible Divine Light are shattered, leaving her comatose.
