Power Progression

Background / History

Ning Rongrong is the daughter of Ning Fengzhi and the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Raised in luxury, she initially assumes that money can obtain any soul tool or resource she wants. She secretly runs away from home intending to join an academy for fun, ultimately choosing Shrek Academy and passing its stringent assessments despite barely enduring the willpower trial. 7 8 13 15

Her confidence in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda is shaken when Ye Zhi reveals the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Ning Rongrong understands that her own martial soul is limited to seven rings unless it evolves; only the Nine Treasures form can support nine rings and allow its owner to reach the Title Douluo realm. 17 18

At Shrek, she repeatedly encounters technologies and cultivation resources unknown even to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect: Virtual Pods, Soul Guidance Cannons, pills, Battle Armor, Soul Spirits, the Spirit Ascension Platform, and the Soul Beast Tower. These experiences transform her view of the academy and make her determined to remain there. 19 29 36 98

She takes a Soul Ascension Pill and a Mystic Water Pill during her early academy studies, later explaining to Chen Xin that medicinal pills contributed to her rapid advancement, although she also emphasizes her own hard work. Her first Spirit Ascension Platform expedition raises her First Soul Ring to approximately six hundred years and demonstrates that physical constitution can limit further ring enhancement. 42 45 99

She learns that one million contribution points can be exchanged for a method to evolve her martial soul. Later, she specifically resolves to save for an Aromatic Silk Beauty and evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda herself. 49 86 158

Her time at Shrek produces dramatic results: she advances from Rank 26 to Rank 43 and develops the ability to fight independently despite being an auxiliary-system soul master. 17 209 210

Following the Freshman Tournament, Ning Rongrong earns precisely enough contribution points to exchange for the Aromatic Silk Beauty. She refines it immediately, successfully evolving her martial soul into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and removing the seven-ring limit that had constrained her family for generations. Although overjoyed, she acknowledges that Ye Zhi remains ahead of her in soul power and overall combat ability. 255

During special cross-temporal training, Ning Rongrong and Ye Zhi receive instruction from Ning Tian, a future Ning clan descendant who identifies Ning Rongrong as an ancestor. The training introduces them to methods of supporting Soul Spirits through the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. 257 258

Afterward, Ning Rongrong travels through Shrek's spatial teleportation array to the Heaven Dou City branch and receives permission from Ya Li to visit her family. She returns to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in triumph, personally demonstrating her evolved martial soul to Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong. 260 265

During this visit, she explains that she will study under Ya Li at the Heaven Dou City branch while remaining enrolled and staying at Shrek Academy in Suotuo City. The academy's spatial teleportation array makes this arrangement possible without a campus transfer. 265

By the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, Ning Rongrong has undergone further training away from home, including battles against demons and Abyssal Creatures. Although absent when the tournament begins, she later arrives in the spectator stands and reunites with Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong. She reveals that she has already surpassed Rank 80 despite being under fifteen, prompting her father to celebrate her as the hope of the now-named Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. 322 334

Appearance

Ning Rongrong is described as a young girl with delicate brows and a bright, expressive demeanor. Before enrollment, she wears a simple white dress and keeps her neat hair at ear length, complementing her noble bearing. Shrek Academy's tailored school uniform fits her perfectly and improves her complexion. 7 13 17

• Comes from an upbringing of conspicuous luxury as the sect's little princess. 15
• Often smiles brightly when pleased or when forming teams. 17 30
• Her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda emits gentle light and spreading rings of radiance when activated. 32
• Her evolved Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda has nine levels and shines with brilliant nine-colored light. 265
• Her slender appearance contrasts sharply with the large, heavy hammer she carries in battle, creating the impression of a “violent loli.” 210

Personality

Ning Rongrong is curious, sociable, and initially somewhat spoiled. She readily asks questions about unfamiliar technologies and people, from the academy's soul tools to Ye Zhi's Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and Tang Wulin's hidden abilities. 15 18 35

Despite her privileged background, she adapts quickly when confronted with Shrek's overwhelming standards. Rather than insisting on pride, she becomes practical: she follows stronger teammates, accepts Tang Wulin's leadership, and openly admits that her support abilities are inferior to Ye Zhi's. 32 44

She is ambitious and resource-conscious. She actively seeks strong teammates, wants contribution points when gold becomes useless at the academy, and focuses on evolving her martial soul before pursuing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 30 49 86

Ning Rongrong values fairness in teamwork. After Tang Wulin's group carries her and Zhu Zhuqing through the Spirit Ascension Platform, she believes they should not claim a soul bone that Tang Wulin earned. 46

Shrek's combination of practical instruction and extraordinary resources makes her much more diligent than she had been at home. She studies seriously, recognizes that resources alone cannot replace effort, and fears losing access to the academy's opportunities if she becomes lazy. 54 57 99

As her cultivation rises, she becomes noticeably more mature and composed, though her unconventional preference for personally wielding a heavy hammer reveals that her mischievous and forceful side remains intact. 207 210

Her maturity does not erase her calculating “little devil” side. Upon recognizing Tang San's concealed connection to the Clear Sky Sect, she deliberately exposes his identity to Yang Wudi, exploiting the Breaking Clan leader's hatred of that sect and enjoying the confrontation she causes. 260 261

She also develops a desire to repay her family through her own achievements. After evolving her martial soul, she considers eventually helping Chen Xin and Gu Rong obtain Battle Armor, recognizing that she may now be able to support the sect rather than depend on it. 255

Abilities & Skills

Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda / Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda

Ning Rongrong originally possessed the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, a top-tier auxiliary-system pagoda whose seven-tier form could not naturally surpass seven rings. After refining an Aromatic Silk Beauty, she evolved it into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, removing that innate limitation and gaining the potential to cultivate to the Title Douluo realm. 17 18 255 265

• First Soul Skill: Strength — amplifies a target's strength. 32 82
• Second Soul Skill: Speed — amplifies a target's speed. 32 82
• Third Soul Skill: Pierce — enhances armor penetration and ignores part of an opponent's defense. 210
• At Rank 26, she can increase her three teammates' strength and speed by thirty percent simultaneously. 32
• Fourth Soul Skill: Defense — creates a rainbow-colored defensive shield capable of blocking an agility-attack soul master's surprise strike. 210
• Buffs Tang Wulin and her teammates during Soul Beast Tower battles. 82
• Her former Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's support amplification was inferior to Ye Zhi's Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. 32
• Following her own evolution, she begins learning Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda techniques related to supporting Soul Spirits under Ning Tian. 257 258
• Eventually surpasses the former Seven Treasures martial soul's seven-ring ceiling, reaching Soul Douluo-level cultivation before turning fifteen. 334

Independent Combat

Although an auxiliary-system soul master, Ning Rongrong develops considerable direct combat ability through soul tools and physical weapon use. 98 210

• Uses her Fourth Soul Skill to defend against Lin Zhichen's Shadow Flash before counterattacking. 210
• Channels her First Soul Skill's strength amplification while wielding a heavy hammer. 210
• Uses her Third Soul Skill: Pierce to give her hammer armor-piercing force against opponents protected by soul power. 210
• Defeats Rank 31 agility-attack soul master Lin Zhichen in a one-on-one Freshman Tournament match. 209 210

Distraction Control

Ning Rongrong studied the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's secret Distraction Control technique before enrolling at Shrek. 19

• Allows advanced control of support abilities.
• She is not yet proficient because she had been lax in her earlier studies. 19
• Absorbing a Golden Pearl significantly improves her Heart Separation Control, advancing her mastery by approximately one level. 43
• Stronger spiritual power allows her to control multiple different support soul skills more precisely and maximize their effectiveness. The technique itself chiefly depends on practice and proficiency rather than substantially increasing spiritual power. 137
• She identifies Heart Separation Control as a self-created technique that can be taught to others without restricting the learner's martial soul. 90

Soul Ring Enhancement

Ning Rongrong learns to use the Spirit Ascension Platform to strengthen existing soul rings even before she can obtain a Soul Spirit. 42 45

• Can select which existing soul ring receives the energy released by defeated platform soul beasts. 45
• Raises her First Soul Ring from just over a hundred years to approximately six hundred years during an early expedition with Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Zhu Zhuqing. 45
• Reaches her body's absorption limit after the defeat of a three-thousand-year Lizard Horned Beast, leaving Tang Wulin and Xie Xie to absorb the excess energy. 45

• A cannon shot lets her, an auxiliary-system soul master, display destructive power close to a three-ring Soul Elder. 20 98
• She passed Wu Zhangkong's shooting assessment and received a Level 2 Soul Guidance Cannon. 98
• She recognizes the cannon's strategic potential for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. 19

Relationships

• Ning Fengzhi — Her father and the sect master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Their relationship shifts as Ning Rongrong becomes more independent and commits to pursuing her goals at Shrek. He is shocked and proud when she reveals that she has reached Rank 43 and can fight alone with a heavy hammer, then becomes overwhelmed with joy when she returns with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. He urges her to remain loyal to Shrek and put the academy first. During their later reunion at the Continental Tournament, her advancement beyond Rank 80 before fifteen convinces him that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has a bright future. 86 157 158 209 210 265 334
• Chen Xin — Sword Douluo and a grandfather-like protector whom she calls “Grandpa Sword.” She proudly shows him her Rank 28 cultivation and Soul Guidance Cannon; he later takes great pride in her growth into a four-ring Soul Ancestor and predicts that the sect may one day become the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. He promises to help her obtain contribution points even if the sect must empty its treasury. 98 99 101 209 210 265
• Gu Rong — Bone Douluo and another elder of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

• Xie Xie — Teammate who explains Soul Spirits and supports Tang Wulin's leadership during the Spirit Ascension Platform. 36 44

After Ning Rongrong succeeds, the two receive specialized Nine Treasures training together, though Ning Rongrong still considers Ye Zhi stronger overall.
