Background
Ning Rongrong is Ning Fengzhi's beloved daughter and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's little princess. Her father, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong indulged her heavily, fostering both her confidence and her notorious “Little Witch” temperament. Her innate Soul Power was level nine—the highest talent in her sect's history, though still beneath innate full Soul Power because of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's inherited limitation 43.
Interested by Shrek Academy's reputation for accepting only “monsters,” she enrolled there after secretly leaving her sect. She initially relied too much on her status and believed auxiliary Soul Masters should simply be protected by others. Harsh training and danger in the Star Dou Great Forest forced her to become more pragmatic, courageous, and considerate of others 34 51 81.
After Xiao Tian supplied her with an Immortal Herb, her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, potentially overcoming the sect's historic Martial Soul flaw 138 139. She later returned to her sect to share Xiao Tian's teachings and her sect's secret methods, while developing the Pagoda into an offensive weapon rather than treating it solely as a support Martial Soul 144 145.
Appearance
Ning Rongrong is a young girl from a prominent sect, recognized for her refined appearance, distinctive bearing, and confident manner.
- Carries herself with the proud temperament of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's direct line 41.
- Is initially self-conscious about developing later than Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing 48 51.
- Her face visibly reddens when embarrassed by Xiao Tian or when her feelings are discussed 112 146.
Personality
Ning Rongrong is intelligent, observant, and strategically minded. She quickly identifies weaknesses in Oscar's claim of innate full Soul Power, questioning both his lack of proof and his relatively slow cultivation progress 43 44. She also repeatedly seeks talent and useful allies for her sect, inviting Xiao Tian, Shao Xin, and others to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School 41 43 57.
Her early arrogance stems from her sheltered upbringing rather than malice. She is impulsive when angered, invokes her sect's power too readily, and openly clashes with Yu Xiaogang and Flender over their punishment 51 52. Over time, she learns restraint: when Chen Xin arrives, she refuses to publicly complain about her grievances at Shrek, choosing instead to handle matters with greater maturity 92 93.
She remains playful and sharp-tongued, deliberately provoking opponents such as Liu Erlong or using Sword Douluo's name to pressure others, but she also becomes loyal and brave when her friends are in danger 62 81 180.
Abilities & Skills

- Originally manifests as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with two yellow Soul Rings 36.
- Evolves into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda after absorbing Xiao Tian's Immortal Herb 139.
- Provides team-wide support during battles, strengthening her allies against enemy control and pressure 60 240.

- Uses the technique with Ning Fengzhi to combine the Soul Power of seven people 267.
- Applies compressed Soul Fusion Ring power to strengthen the size, speed, and impact force of her Pagoda 179.
Tower Control
After failing to make immediate progress in Sword Control, Ning Rongrong adapts the concept to her own Martial Soul.
- Begins practicing Pagoda control at Xiao Tian's suggestion 112.
- Recognizes that the Pagoda can be manipulated as an offensive tool rather than only a support Martial Soul 145.
- Throws the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in combat; its force knocks Tang San away and injures Oscar 180.
- Tower Control is difficult because her Pagoda lacks Soul Skills specifically designed to facilitate object control 145.

- Xiao Wu — Close friend and Xiao Tian's acknowledged partner. They openly discuss their feelings for Xiao Tian, and Xiao Wu accepts Ning Rongrong's feelings despite her initial possessiveness 51 183.
- Zhu Zhuqing — Friend and fellow Shrek student. They support one another, discuss cultivation, and remain together during crises 48 81 139.
- Ning Fengzhi — Her father and sect master. He supports her growth, teaches her sect techniques, and encourages her cultivation while respecting her feelings 144 146.
- Chen Xin — Her “Sword Grandpa,” a protective elder who is deeply attached to her. He recognizes her increased maturity after her time at Shrek 41 92 93.
- Gu Rong — Her “Bone Grandpa,” another protective sect elder who is more reluctant to accept the possibility of her sharing Xiao Tian with Xiao Wu 146.
- Oscar — A fellow support-type Soul Master whose claim of innate full Soul Power she openly scrutinizes; he is attracted to her, but she does not reciprocate his interest 43 44.
- Shrek Academy students — Though initially at odds with the academy's training methods, she becomes a committed teammate who supports the group in battle and refuses to abandon Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Great Forest 60 81.

Tempering at Shrek
