Background
Ning Rongrong is Ning Fengzhi's daughter and the beloved junior of Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong. At eight, she is treated indulgently within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; Chen Xin gives her a Hundred Year Ice Silkworm Core pendant, while Gu Rong later gives her another Soul Beast inner-core pendant. 6 9
She first meets Su Yu when Chen Xin brings him into the sect as his intended successor. Curious about the seemingly ordinary newcomer, she quickly drags him to her secluded waterfall hideout—her “secret base,” which she says Su Yu is the first outsider to visit. Their early outings establish Su Yu as her trusted companion and protective older-brother figure. 7 8
Inspired by Chen Xin's swordsmanship, Rongrong asks to learn the sword despite being a support-type Soul Master. Chen Xin gives her the practice sword Flowing Firefly, while Su Yu guides her through basic stances and later practical combat. 11 19
Four years later, she insists on leaving the sect with Su Yu for real-world training. Her family permits the journey only after arranging secret protection, concerned that Su Yu will indulge and shield her at any cost. 14 15
Appearance
At her introduction, Rongrong is an eight-year-old girl with an energetic, delicate appearance. She is often described as bright-eyed and expressive, with her twin buns frequently disheveled by her restless behavior. 7
- Twin-bun hairstyle; once appears with both buns askew after waking early. 7
- Bright, curious eyes and a highly expressive face. 7 11
- During the Brocade Tulip absorption, she emits a tulip fragrance and golden flower-like shadows, while her evolved pagoda rests on her shoulder. 116
Personality
Rongrong is initially impulsive, spoiled, and difficult to restrain. She kicks open Su Yu's door at dawn to demand that he play with her, and Chen Xin considers her the most unruly person in the sect. 7
Beneath that pampered upbringing, she is determined to improve. She pursues sword training, refuses to complain about soreness, and pushes herself through physical training rather than accepting the label of a delicate support master. 11 41
She is emotionally open and deeply attached to Su Yu. When he is separated from the group in the Star Dou Great Forest, she panics and cries for his return; after his abduction by the Titan Giant Ape, shock leaves her unable to speak or eat for days. 18 79
Her confidence grows alongside her strength. She openly challenges the assumption that support-system Soul Masters cannot fight and later takes pride in being the first person in her sect's history to wield the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. 34 116
Abilities & Skills
Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda
Rongrong's support Martial Soul began as the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda after she absorbed the Brocade Tulip. The evolution breaks the sect's historical seven-layer limitation. 116
- Strength, Speed, and Spirit enhancement — Her first three support effects increase allies' strength, speed, and Soul Power respectively. 32
- Self-enhancement — Can apply her Strength and Speed boosts to herself for sword combat. 34 35
- Imperial — Her fourth Soul Skill raises an ally's defense by 50%. 125
- Team support — Enhances allies including Zhu Qing and Xiao Wu in Blue Tyrant Academy matches. 234
- Nine-layer evolution — The pagoda develops nine differently colored layers, with the ninth layer purple. 116
Swordsmanship
Although a support-type Soul Master, Rongrong trains in swordsmanship under Chen Xin's instruction and Su Yu's guidance.
- Learns the basic stances: chop, thrust, lift, and sweep. 11
- Defeats several two-hundred-year Nether Wolves in her first live battle by combining sword techniques with pagoda enhancement. 19
- Uses agile swordplay to block and counter Dai Mubai's attacks during the Shrek assessment. 35
- When Su Yu is present and she wields an Immortal Sword, her combat ability is assessed as roughly comparable to a Soul Grandmaster. 14
Spatial Rift Maneuver
While fighting Dai Mubai with the Immortal Slaying Sword, Rongrong channels her Soul Power into the blade to create a spatial rift. She vanishes through it, reappears above her opponent, and attacks from an unexpected angle. 35
- Used to evade Dai Mubai's White Tiger Blazing Light Wave. 35
- Requires the Immortal Slaying Sword and a heavy expenditure of Soul Power. 35
Enhanced Soul Ring Capacity
Her body is tempered by the Ice and Fire Golden Body, allowing her to bear a stronger fourth Soul Ring than ordinary Soul Masters. 124
- Absorbs a defensive Soul Ring from an approximately 9,000-year Steel Rock Bull without difficulty. 125
- Gains the defensive-support Soul Skill Imperial from this ring. 125
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Flowing Firefly — A light, delicate practice sword gifted by Chen Xin for her early sword training. 11
- Glimmering Sword — A sword she carries in her Soul Tool and uses against the Nether Wolves. 19
- Immortal Slaying Sword — Su Yu's sword, which Rongrong is permitted to wield; it greatly improves her combat ability and enables her spatial-rift maneuver. 9 35
- Hundred Year Ice Silkworm Core Pendant — A gift from Chen Xin that keeps her cool in summer and warm in winter. 6
- Soul Beast inner-core pendant — A second pendant gifted by Gu Rong. 9
Relationships
- Su Yu — Her trusted “older brother,” sword instructor, protector, and closest emotional support. She considers him family, relies on him during danger, and credits him for her Martial Soul evolution. 8 15 79 116
- Ning Fengzhi — Her father and the sect master. He is protective of her training journey and overwhelmed with joy when her Martial Soul evolves. 14 136
- Chen Xin / Sword Douluo — Her “Grandpa Jian.” He indulges her, gives her gifts, and supports her sword training. 6 11
- Gu Rong / Bone Douluo — Her “Grandpa Bone.” He gives her gifts and joins Chen Xin in protecting her and attempting to rescue Su Yu. 9 79
- Xiao Wu — Friend, dormmate, and Blue Tyrant Academy teammate. They support one another during training and competition. 36 242
- Zhu Qing — Friend, dormmate, and teammate. Zhu Qing remains beside Rongrong after Su Yu's abduction and helps care for her during her loss of speech. 36 79
- Dugu Yan — Close friend and fellow beneficiary of immortal herbs; the two bicker playfully and train together. 116 121
- Zi Ji — Initially frightens Rongrong in the Star Dou Great Forest, but later guides and protects her group. 18 20
- Dugu Bo — Helps secure her fourth Soul Ring and experiences the defensive boost of her Imperial skill firsthand. Rongrong regards him with gratitude and respect. 125 137
Story Role / Major Arcs
Star Dou Great Forest Training
Rongrong joins Su Yu on a training journey after reaching rank 30. In the forest, she faces her first real combat, kills Nether Wolves, and struggles with post-battle nausea before regaining her resolve. 14 19 20
Shrek Academy Admission
She enters Shrek Academy as a level 31 support-type Soul Master. Her assessment battle against Dai Mubai overturns expectations: she uses self-buffs, swordsmanship, and spatial movement to fight him until Su Yu intervenes. 30 35 36
Loss of Voice and Recovery
When Su Yu is taken by the Titan Giant Ape, Rongrong is devastated. She stops eating and drinking, loses her voice from heartbreak, and repeatedly begs her father and grandfathers to save him. 69 79
After Su Yu returns, she gradually recovers with his care. By the time of later academy training, her voice and usual energy have returned. 86 89 91
Martial Soul Evolution
Su Yu gives Rongrong the Brocade Tulip at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It raises her Soul Power to level 40 and evolves her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, fulfilling a thousand-year ambition of her sect. 116
Her evolution prompts Ning Fengzhi to hold a major banquet and rename the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect as the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. 136 138
Blue Tyrant Academy Tournament Support
As a five-ring Soul King, Rongrong serves as Blue Tyrant Academy's primary support during the tournament. Opposing teams specifically target her, leading Niu Pai to defend her from Yan's charge while she prepares team enhancements. 267 269 271
