Background / History

Ning Rongrong is the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the daughter of Ning Fengzhi. She was raised under the protection of the sect’s two Titled Douluo, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. Finding sect life boring, she secretly left to investigate whether Shrek Academy truly possessed exceptional talents. 14 22

At Shrek’s entrance examination, Tang San and Xiao Wu’s extraordinary soul power inspires her to reject the prospect of spending her life as a protected support Soul Master. She resolves to stand on the front line and personally protect the people she values. 14 16 22

When Gu Qing releases his martial soul aura, her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda reacts intensely. She identifies the phenomenon as a resonance possible only with a martial soul of higher grade than her own and begins seeking closeness with him to understand it. 14 23

After Gu Qing disbands Shrek and establishes Self Academy, Ning Rongrong supports the decision and passes his entrance examination. She becomes one of Self Academy’s first four core students alongside Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing. 20 22 23

Following a month of intensive training, Ning Rongrong stabilizes her Sea of Qi Vortex’s flow-restriction ratio at 60%, establishing the groundwork for her reverse-amplification path. 31

Gu Qing later brings her to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and gives her the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid. The immortal herb improves her affinity with soul power, raises the innate quality of her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and strengthens her meridians for reverse amplification. 53

Appearance

Ning Rongrong is presented as a young noblewoman with a princess-like bearing, usually projecting confidence and refined extravagance. 14

• Wears a gorgeous white princess dress at Shrek’s entrance examination. 14
• Carries and toys with a jade-boned fan. 14
• Has long hair and large, expressive eyes. 23 29
• Her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda manifests as an exquisite seven-story glazed pagoda, each level shining in a distinct color. 24
• After refining the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, her pagoda’s glasslike body gains a warm, jade-like sheen. 55

Personality

Initially proud and playful, Ning Rongrong carries the confidence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s pampered little princess. She is willing to use both wealth and affectionate teasing to pursue what interests her, including offering sect resources in exchange for being allowed to address Gu Qing intimately. 14 23

She is also ambitious and increasingly mature. Witnessing Tang San’s combat ability makes her dissatisfied with the traditional role of a support Soul Master who relies on others for protection. She wants the strength to fight at the front and safeguard others herself. 16 22

Ning Rongrong is proactive in her cultivation: she visits Gu Qing to investigate their martial soul resonance, eagerly accepts the possibility of a new cultivation path, and seeks to capitalize on the accelerated cultivation produced by the resonance. 25 26 29

She approaches her defensive shortcomings seriously, accepting Gu Qing’s assessment that reverse amplification requires a resilient physical foundation and deliberately seeking a defense-oriented third soul ring. 58 59

Her confidence grows after obtaining Guard and developing reverse amplification; she sees herself as no longer limited to hiding behind her teammates. 55 60

Abilities & Skills

Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda

Ning Rongrong possesses the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, described as the continent’s premier support martial soul. Its conventional cultivation path specializes in external amplification, but leaves its user vulnerable if separated from allies. 14 24

• Can provide single-attribute boosts to two allies simultaneously. 24
• Current amplification is approximately 30%; duration depends on her soul power expenditure. 24
• Its resonance with Gu Qing’s Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus is strong enough to cause involuntary manifestation and intense heating. 14 26
• Gu Qing proposes redirecting its amplification through internal circulation, allowing her to strengthen herself as well as her teammates. 24
• Following the refinement of the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, the pagoda’s innate quality and her affinity with soul power improve significantly. 53 55

First Soul Skill: Power Amplification

Ning Rongrong’s first soul skill strengthens an ally’s power through the first level of her pagoda. 24

• Activated with: “Seven Treasures Glazed Tile, first: Power.” 24
• Produces a red beam of amplification light. 24
• Traditionally functions as an external support ability. 24

Second Soul Skill: Speed Amplification

Her second soul skill increases an ally’s speed. 24

• Activated with: “Second: Speed.” 24
• Gives the recipient at least a 30% speed increase. 24
• Can be maintained alongside her first skill on a separate target. 24

Third Soul Skill: Guard

Ning Rongrong gains Guard after absorbing the four-thousand-year soul ring of a Mystic Rock Shield Turtle. 60

• Activated with: “Third soul skill—Guard.” 60
• Produces a pale-golden protective ring that can envelop multiple allies, including herself. 60
• Increases the defense of allies within its range by 50%. 60
• Its duration scales with Ning Rongrong’s soul power. 60
• Completes her core strength, speed, and defense amplification suite. 60

Soul Power Vortex

Gu Qing designs a cultivation route intended to overcome the pagoda’s lack of self-protection. 24 25

• Uses a soul power vortex at the Qihai acupoint rather than above the dantian. 25
• Cycles externalized amplification soul power through her meridians before it leaves the pagoda. 24
• Intended to allow amplification of her own strength, speed, and defense while still supporting allies. 24
• Ning Rongrong initially cannot understand the principles of soul power vortices and internal circulation. 25
• After a month of training, her Sea of Qi Vortex’s flow-restriction ratio stabilizes at 60%. 31
• The vortex can divert half of her amplification effect back onto herself before later improvements from the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid. 58

Reverse Amplification

Reverse Amplification is Ning Rongrong’s application of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda’s amplification power to her own body through the internal circulation established by her Sea of Qi Vortex. 53 55

• The Eight Petal Immortal Orchid enables her to form a golden enhancement halo around herself. 55
• She can apply her amplification to herself at 70% of the strength she provides to teammates. 55
• This ability changes her from a purely rear-line support Soul Master into one capable of close-range self-protection. 55 60
• Combined with Guard, it gives her the defensive foundation needed to withstand attacks while continuing to support allies. 58 60

Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Ning Rongrong’s Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and Gu Qing’s Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus demonstrate a confirmed Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 29

• The martial souls’ golden and seven-colored lights automatically intertwine when manifested together. 29
• Their soul power merges without repulsion and circulates through both bodies in a stable loop. 29
• The circulation refines Ning Rongrong’s soul power and enables her breakthrough to level 27. 29
• The fusion produces purple-gold and glazed light, substantial soul-power fluctuations, and automatic manifestation of both martial souls. 29
• Gu Qing considers it a potential battle-changing trump card combining amplification and support capabilities. 26 29
• Ning Fengzhi recognizes the fusion skill as a breakthrough of great significance to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 78

Relationships

• Gu Qing — Dean and cultivation guide at Self Academy. Her martial soul resonates with his, leading her to seek closeness and investigate their confirmed Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Gu Qing later publicly acknowledges her as his girlfriend. 14 23 29 78
• Ning Fengzhi — Father and leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. His wish to find a peerless expert to lead the sect further influences Rongrong’s reaction to Gu Qing. He later thanks Gu Qing for Rongrong’s growth and enters a strategic partnership with Self Academy and Tang Sect. 14 77 78
• Tang San — Fellow core student. Tang San’s battle performance motivates Rongrong to seek front-line strength; the two also share a playful friendship. 16 22 31
• Xiao Wu — Fellow core student and rival for Gu Qing’s attention. Xiao Wu is openly suspicious of Rongrong’s closeness to him, though she later shows concern for Rongrong. 23 26 29
• Zhu Zhuqing — Roommate and fellow core student. Their relationship develops into mutual familiarity, with Rongrong sharing the details of her martial soul resonance. They later accompany Gu Qing together while seeking their third soul rings. 25 30 57 60
• Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo — Titled Douluo guardians who raised and indulged her within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. They also accompany Ning Fengzhi during his visits to Self Academy and observe its growth. 22 23 70 77
• Qian Renxue / Xue Qinghe — Rongrong’s senior brother under Ning Fengzhi’s tutelage. Qian Renxue treats her warmly and attends the Self Academy exchange tournament at Ning Fengzhi’s request. 67 68
