Background / History
Ning Rongrong was a Shrek Academy student and the daughter of Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Proud of her inherited Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, she was shaken when Ye Lingling's support martial soul overwhelmingly outperformed it during Shrek's clash with Blue Silver Academy. While Shrek fled, Rongrong remained behind to investigate the academy. 28
Inside Blue Silver Academy, she secretly attended lectures on support-type soul power control and heard Xu Qing's teachings on the nature and potential of martial souls. Exposure to his life aura permanently expanded her soul power limit, while witnessing Dugu Yan's transformation convinced her that Blue Silver Academy could fundamentally alter a martial soul's potential. 28
Xu Qing deliberately let her experience the beginning of her pagoda's evolution, then halted the process just before an eighth story could fully form. Determined to pursue that opportunity, Rongrong chose to stay at Blue Silver Academy rather than return with Shrek. 29
After several days in the academy's life-rich environment, Xu Qing personally completed her breakthrough beside a lake. Her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, fulfilling a goal her sect had been unable to achieve through generations of resources and effort. Rongrong responded by kneeling in gratitude and developing deep reverence for Xu Qing. 33
At Xu Qing's centennial birthday banquet, Ning Fengzhi initially confronted Blue Silver Academy after Tang San claimed she had been kidnapped. Rongrong publicly denied being imprisoned, credited Xu Qing and the academy for her achievements, and revealed her evolved martial soul to her father and the gathered factions. 45
She later chose to remain at Blue Silver Academy to serve Xu Qing. Her martial soul underwent a second evolution into the Nine-Turn Profound Yellow Pagoda, and Xu Qing accepted her as a nominal disciple alongside Dugu Yan. 49 54
Appearance
Ning Rongrong has fair skin and long hair described as cascading like a waterfall. After her time at Blue Silver Academy, she is noted for a composed, pure presence that contrasts with her earlier willful temperament. 45
- Wears the custom uniform of Blue Silver Academy during the centennial banquet. 45
- Manifests a small pagoda wreathed in nine-colored light. 45 54
- In later years, carries herself with the poised bearing of a person in authority. 66
Personality
Before entering Blue Silver Academy, Rongrong is portrayed as proud and spoiled, taking particular confidence in the status of her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Her initial decision to remain behind at the academy comes from wounded pride and a desire to understand the power that surpassed her own. 28 36
Her experiences at the academy replace that arrogance with determination and devotion to Xu Qing. She is willing to stay by his side in even a menial capacity to repay the fortune he granted her, and she refuses Tang San's attempts to leverage their former friendship against Blue Silver Academy. 47 49
Rongrong remains outspoken and uncompromising toward Shrek. During its demolition, she openly condemns Yu Xiaogang's teaching methods, Shrek's lack of resources, and its treatment of its students. 54 56
