Background

Ning Rongrong came to Phantom Star Academy seeking to become Chen An's disciple. Though formerly spoiled and overbearing, she approached him respectfully after witnessing his strength. Chen An accepted her only after she promised not to be willful or bully fellow disciples. 16

Her insistence on entering Chen An's Dream Realm subjected her to an illusionary lifetime in which her arrogance alienated those around her, Martial Soul Hall destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and she became destitute and unable to face her master or senior sister. Zhu Zhuqing entered the Dream Realm to guide her out. 17

The experience left Rongrong worried about the sect and its future. She wrote to her father, Ning Fengzhi, reporting that she had become Chen An's disciple, and her relationship with Zhu Zhuqing developed into that of close dormmates and senior-junior sisters. 18 19

After reaching level 30, Chen An fulfilled his promise to resolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's inherent limitation. Her martial soul ultimately evolved into the Heavenly Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, giving her a path beyond the historical seven-ring limit of her clan. 63 66 67

As her importance to both Phantom Star and her family increased, Rongrong became the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's candidate Sect Master. She used the sect's intelligence network to warn Zhu Zhuqing of Spirit Hall's hostile mobilization against Phantom Star. 125

Personality

Rongrong initially possessed a stubborn, proud temperament shaped by her upbringing in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She nevertheless recognized strength, adapted quickly when necessary, and sincerely committed herself to changing after joining Phantom Star Academy. 16 17

She is affectionate toward her father and deeply attached to Chen An and Phantom Star Academy, later asking to remain at the academy even after meeting its graduation standards. 89 106

Rongrong can be playful and teasing with her fellow disciples, particularly Ye Lingling, but she is also empathetic. She was disturbed by Xi Yao's treatment as an auctioned slave and personally paid 600,000 Gold Soul Coins to secure her freedom. 59 114

Though not naturally as patient as Zhu Zhuqing in administrative work, Rongrong actively assists Chen An and takes initiative in academy affairs. When Zhuqing serves as acting dean, Rongrong enthusiastically acts as interim vice dean and guides younger disciples. 145 170

She is emotionally perceptive and protective of her fellow disciples. When Huo Yuhao considered sacrificing his future potential to join the others' level-100 breakthrough, Rongrong forcefully interrupted him and ensured that he was not pressured into making that choice. 219

After attaining the Title Douluo realm, she briefly grew complacent and lax in her cultivation, prompting Chen An to push her to continue pursuing greater heights. 200

Appearance

Rongrong is described as a young girl with a beautiful face. Her evolved Heavenly Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is distinguished by wisps of Dao aura surrounding it. 18 67

• Comes from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and is treated as its “princess.” 111
• Her Heavenly Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's Dao aura originates from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Immortal Scripture. 67

Abilities & Skills

• Can potentially accommodate two soul rings within a single tier. 66
• Successfully placed an additional God-Condensed Soul Ring into the inner layer of her third pagoda tier under Chen An's direct guidance. 66

Support Soul Skills

Rongrong is a support-type Soul Master capable of strengthening allies during battle.

• Cast “Seven Treasures Famous, First, Power; Second, Speed!” to enhance Luo Xiaoshi during their arena battle against Dai Mubai and Oscar. 39
• Cast “Seven Treasures Famous, Second, Speed!” to boost her team's speed. 52
• Cast “Heavenly Treasure Glazed Tile, beneath the glazed tile unfolds heaven and earth” while activating her eight soul rings to comprehensively empower Phantom Star's team in battle. 84
• Supported Luo Xiaoshi during his fight with Dai Mubai after defeating Oscar herself. 40
• Worked with Meng Yiran and Ye Lingling as one of Phantom Star's three support-type Soul Kings, overwhelming Blazing Academy through coordinated support and tactics. 96
• Her enhancements were potent enough for the Great Sage controlling Luo Xiaoshi's body to note that she could make him stronger. 85

Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Immortal Scripture

Chen An gave Rongrong the Nine Heavens Immortal Scripture, formally called the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Immortal Scripture, as her primary cultivation method. 25

• Its cultivation aura became part of the Dao aura surrounding her evolved pagoda. 67
• Supports her path of cultivation beyond the limitations historically imposed by her original martial soul. 18 66
• Allows her to continue advancing even beyond the limitations historically associated with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. 53

Tianshan Plum-Plucking Hand

Chen An provided Rongrong with the Tianshan Plum-Plucking Hand to strengthen her ability to defend herself in close quarters. 25

• Intended to prevent her from being helpless when enemies reach her directly. 25
• Does not occupy a soul-skill slot. 25
• Used it to overwhelm Oscar in close combat during the Suotuo Great Soul Arena match. 40

Golden Light Divine Incantation

Rongrong received the introductory Golden Light Divine Incantation from Chen An. 25

• Designed as part of her self-preservation training rather than a replacement for her support abilities. 25
• Chen An warned her against collecting too many techniques before mastering the ones she already had. 25
• Greatly reinforces her body and, in conjunction with the Tianshan Plum-Plucking Hand, enables her to contend with opponents in melee despite her support specialization. 44

Relationships

• Chen An — Master and headmaster of Phantom Star Academy. He accepted Rongrong as a disciple, guided her growth, resolved her martial soul's limitation, and supervised her dangerous soul-ring absorption. He later guided her attempt to use Douluo's world authority in pursuit of independent godhood. 16 25 66 219
• Zhu Zhuqing — Senior sister, dormmate, and trusted partner. Zhuqing advised Rongrong to change her attitude, guided her out of the Dream Realm, and later relied on her as an assistant in academy affairs. Together with Ye Lingling, Rongrong accompanied Zhuqing to investigate the disturbance within the Star Dou Great Forest during the beast tide. 16 17 172 182
• Ning Fengzhi — Father and Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He initially sought Chen An's help in tempering Rongrong, then became astonished and proud after witnessing her evolved martial soul. Rongrong later became the sect's candidate Sect Master. 26 67 125

They became Soul Sages around the same period and jointly investigated the Star Dou Forest disturbance with Zhu Zhuqing. 59 96 167 182
• Xi Yao — A catgirl whose freedom Rongrong purchased for 600,000 Gold Soul Coins. Xi Yao came to regard Rongrong and the other girls as friends and protectors. 114 115
• Huo Yuhao — Junior brother whom Rongrong frequently supervises and pressures in his cultivation. She recognized his willingness to sacrifice his own potential for the group and prevented him from joining the dangerous level-100 breakthrough before his three martial souls had reached their pinnacles. 170 219
• Gu Rong — One of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's guardians. He accompanied Rongrong's party to Star Luo because of concern for her safety. 20 111

Joining Phantom Star Academy

Rongrong became Chen An's disciple after agreeing to follow his rules against willfulness and bullying. Zhu Zhuqing subsequently introduced her to academy life and urged her to change her behavior. 16

Dream Realm Trial

Her self-requested Dream Realm experience forced her to confront the consequences of arrogance, isolation, and the possible destruction of her sect. The ordeal became the turning point in her maturity. 17 18

Great Soul Arena

Rongrong trained intensively with Phantom Star's disciples and fought in the Suotuo Great Soul Arena. She defeated Oscar, surprising observers with her combat strength despite being an auxiliary Soul Master. 36 40

Martial Soul Evolution

After reaching level 30 and absorbing God-Condensed Soul Rings, Rongrong's martial soul evolved beyond the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's historic limitations. Ning Fengzhi's reaction confirmed the importance of this change to the sect's future. 63 66 67

Soul Master Tournament

Having reached Soul King alongside Phantom Star's core disciples, Rongrong formed a three-support lineup with Meng Yiran and Ye Lingling. Their coordination helped Phantom Star defeat Blazing Academy in both the three-on-three and seven-on-seven rounds. 95 96

Star Luo Journey and Xi Yao's Rescue

Rongrong traveled with Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran to Star Luo, where the group encountered Xi Yao's sale at auction. After Xi Yao escaped and sought their help, Rongrong bought her freedom and brought her back toward Phantom Star. 111 114 115

Academy Administration

While Zhu Zhuqing served as acting dean, Rongrong acted as interim vice dean and assisted with academy administration. She later helped Chen An with teacher-class matters and was tasked with identifying graduates suitable for counter-infiltration against Spirit Hall. 145 170 172

Spirit Hall Crisis

As the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's candidate Sect Master, Rongrong personally brought intelligence that Spirit Hall was preparing to act against Phantom Star. During the subsequent defensive preparations, she reported that the enemy force numbered more than nine hundred Soul Masters above level 50. 125 128
