Background / History

Ning Rongrong is the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the daughter of its current sect master. Having grown tired of the sect's restrictive rules and routine life, she leaves home to travel and train independently, arriving in Suotuo City in a light-green dress. 18 70

At Shrek Academy, Flandre assigns her to support Qian Ni during Zhao Wuji's entrance assessment. She can use her two soul skills to enhance strength and speed, but Qian Ni combines her martial soul's buffs with his own soul power and the Rider's Bridle, forcing her into a high-speed charge that makes Zhao Wuji surrender rather than risk harming her. 21 22

Initially, Ning Rongrong seeks Qian Ni's secret for absorbing a ten-thousand-year first soul ring because she hopes it can transform the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She offers to become his follower in exchange for information, but continues to retain the pride and distance of a sect heiress. 26 28 42

Her determination becomes more apparent at Shrek: she endures the academy's running training despite physical strain, driven by the ambition to break the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's limitations and help elevate her sect to the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 29

After seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran receive valuable benefits for their loyalty, Ning Rongrong realizes that she has not fulfilled the duties expected of Qian Ni's lackeys. Her humiliation in the spirit battles against Ye Lingling and Yu Tianheng further damages her pride, but also pushes her to reconsider her attitude. 50 69 72

During the battle against Yu Tianheng, she refuses to surrender despite being Shrek's last standing member. A mint-shaped Lightning Pellet given by Qian Ni temporarily guides her body to block Yu Tianheng's Dream-Shattering Blade, though its power eventually fails and she is severely injured. Qian Ni later recognizes this as her having passed his test and publicly stands up for her. 81 82 83

Appearance

Ning Rongrong is a young girl commonly associated with a light-green skirt or dress. Her status as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess is reflected in her refined upbringing, though Shrek's training and battles repeatedly leave her disheveled. 18 21 68

• Wears a light-green skirt when arriving in Suotuo City. 18
• Has a “delicate” build that makes Zhao Wuji wary of injuring her during the assessment. 22
• Is described as having a pretty face that flushes easily when embarrassed or flustered. 21 23
• Carries a storage soul tool, from which she draws a lightweight hollow-bone spiked club during her battle with Ye Lingling. 69

Personality

Ning Rongrong begins as proud, ambitious, and accustomed to the advantages of her birth. She instinctively considers recruiting exceptional talents such as Qian Ni and Tang San for her sect, believing that rare cultivation methods or tools should be secured for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 26

Despite this entitlement, she is not weak-willed. She persists through Shrek's physical training, faces opponents far stronger than herself, and refuses Yu Tianheng's invitation to surrender even after witnessing her teammates' defeat. 29 81

Her major personal conflict is between pride and pragmatism. She wants the benefits of Qian Ni's support but initially resists the duties and loss of status implied by becoming his lackey. After being repeatedly outperformed by Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, she gradually accepts that her attitude must change if she wants to grow stronger. 42 50 58 83

Abilities & Skills

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda

Ning Rongrong possesses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a support-type martial soul regarded as one of the continent's foremost auxiliary martial souls. 21 69

• Has two soul rings during her assessment at Shrek Academy. 21
• Can enhance a target's speed and strength. 21
• Can apply her own enhancements to herself in combat. 22 69
• Her support power becomes especially potent when combined with Qian Ni's borrowed soul power through the Twin-Winged Bird's Entwined Branches state. 22 30
• Her martial soul specializes in support rather than direct offense or healing. 50 72

Support and Team Tactics

Ning Rongrong works effectively with Zhu Zhuqing in two-person spirit battles, supporting the agility-attack Soul Master while Zhu Zhuqing handles direct combat. 30 64

• Crosses a poison-covered arena on all fours to ambush Ye Lingling while Zhu Zhuqing distracts Dugu Yan. 68
• Uses her pagoda's enhancements on herself after reaching Ye Lingling. 69
• Her lack of formal close-combat training leaves her vulnerable once isolated. 69 72
• Is defeated by Ye Lingling, who uses a spare knife, a sweep, and a grappling hold to disarm and restrain her. 69

Mint-Shaped Lightning Pellet

Qian Ni gives Ning Rongrong a glowing mint leaf as a test. It is actually a modified Lightning Pellet rather than ordinary mint. 73 81

• Temporarily directs Ning Rongrong's body and allows her to parry Yu Tianheng's lightning-infused Dream-Shattering Blade. 81
• Causes Yu Tianheng to mistake her for a hidden swordsmanship expert, possibly an inheritor of Chen Xin's techniques. 81 82
• Has a limited charge; its light flickers out before it is bent and broken by Yu Tianheng's blade. 82
• Does not grant Ning Rongrong actual swordsmanship or durable combat ability once it fails. 82

Equipment / Items

• Storage Soul Tool — used to carry combat equipment, including a hollow-bone spiked club. 69
• Hollow-Bone Spiked Club — lightweight weapon she attempts to use against Ye Lingling; she lacks the technique to wield it effectively. 69
• Mint-Shaped Lightning Pellet — Qian Ni's disguised tool that briefly enables her to fight Yu Tianheng. 73 81
• Whale Glue Pellets — Ning Rongrong has used lower-quality Whale Glue Pellets for two years, improving her physique enough to endure Shrek's training. 29

Relationships

• Qian Ni — Initially a target for recruitment into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; she later becomes his nominal lackey/follower while struggling with the role's demands. His tests, rewards, and criticism drive much of her development. 26 28 50 83
• Zhu Zhuqing — Fellow Shrek student and close companion. They form a two-person battle team, and Zhu Zhuqing protects Ning Rongrong when Ye Lingling takes her hostage. 30 64 70
• Xiao Wu — A supportive friend among the girls at Shrek. Ning Rongrong joins Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran in emotionally supporting Xiao Wu after Yu Xiaogang's incident. 29 55 56
• Meng Yiran — Another of Qian Ni's lackeys. Ning Rongrong envies her rewards but is also invited by her to shop for clothes, reflecting their developing sisterly bond. 50 56
• Oscar — Oscar develops feelings for Ning Rongrong, but refrains from acting because of Qian Ni's influence. 29 31
• Flandre — Shrek's dean, who praises Ning Rongrong for completing physical training and encourages her to grow during her time at the academy. 30 31
• Ye Lingling — Her rival among support-type Soul Masters. Ye Lingling defeats her in close combat and labels her the “little useless pagoda-bearer.” 69 72
• Yu Tianheng — Defeats Ning Rongrong after her Lightning Pellet fails, yet mistakes her temporary performance for Sword Douluo-style swordsmanship and seeks a future rematch. 81 82
