Background
Ning Rongrong is the daughter of Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Dissatisfied with the insincere peers around her and unwilling to attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy under her father's influence, she secretly left home to find sincere companions and form a team for the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Master Tournament. 31 32
Outside Heaven Dou City, she met Youquan while renting a carriage. The two traveled south together, with Rongrong openly revealing her identity after deciding that Youquan could be trusted. 31 32 During the journey, she used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's name and her martial soul to confront traffickers threatening Xiaoxiao, though Youquan ultimately killed the men to protect the girls. 33 34
Rongrong initially registered at Shrek Academy with Youquan, Xiaoxiao, Tang San, and the others. Her experience there was hostile: Flender punished her with an extreme running task, accused her of dishonesty, and several students antagonized or threatened her. She refused to accept mistreatment quietly and repeatedly invoked her right to demand accountability. 55 57 58 61 62
After leaving Shrek, Rongrong returned to her sect and argued that Spirit Hall was not the evil force her father believed it to be. She endured punishment by kneeling in heavy rain rather than immediately surrendering her beliefs, but later accepted that she could not decide the sect's political future alone. 75 77
Youquan later gave her a Qiluo Jade Flower Pill, which raised her Soul Power to level 30 and evolved her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The evolution removed the martial soul's historical seven-ring limitation and allowed her path toward Titled Douluo. 39 76 77 She then joined Youquan's all-female Nirvana Squad and began training at Spirit Hall Academy. 78
Appearance
Rongrong is introduced as a young noble girl with almost pale, translucent skin and clear, lively eyes compared to green stones beneath autumn water. Her bright gaze is marked by curiosity and anticipation. 31
- Slender brows and clear, deep green eyes. 31
- A refined, noble appearance consistent with her upbringing as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's young lady. 32 53
- When releasing her pagoda martial soul, she is surrounded by seven- or nine-colored radiance and is likened to a fairy. 47 228
Personality
Rongrong is outspoken, proud, and initially carries the confidence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's privileged young lady. She is quick to challenge people who insult her, her friends, or Support System Soul Masters, particularly Flender and Dai Mubai. 58 61 62
Her pride does not prevent her from learning. After losing a two-on-two Soul Battle through overconfidence, she accepts the need to improve; after joining the Nirvana Squad, she endures grueling physical training and studies skills designed to let her fight independently. 60 82 83
She deeply values genuine affection over status. Her bond with Youquan leads her to reconsider her assumptions about Spirit Hall, while her eventual decision to remain with and strengthen her family reflects a growing understanding of her responsibility as future Sect Master. 31 77 167
Abilities & Skills
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda
Rongrong's support-type Tool Martial Soul evolved from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda after she consumed the Qiluo Jade Flower Pill. The evolved form grants her the potential to exceed Soul Saint and become a Titled Douluo. 77 238
- Uses Nine Treasures Invocation to enhance allies' strength, speed, Soul Power, defense, and amplification. 98 100 180
- Can simultaneously empower multiple teammates, making her a core support member of the Nirvana Squad. 98 124

- Her Martial Soul Avatar can provide sustained support through perfected Six Aperture Wishful Heart control. 208
Offensive Self-Created Soul Skills
Youquan trained Rongrong to overcome the conventional vulnerability of Support System Soul Masters by learning light-element combat skills. 77 82 83
- Glazed Palm — Condenses light into a powerful palm seal for direct offense; Rongrong later used it alongside her phantom body during her assessment and against Dai Mubai. 83 126 184
- Glazed Light Chain — Condenses Soul Power into chains that bind and restrain opponents. 83 126 192
- Glazed Light Blade — Creates light blades that may manifest anywhere illuminated, giving the skill area-of-effect potential. 83
- Her Glazed Palm and Glazed Light Chain incapacitated Dai Mubai, demonstrating that she could fight rather than merely support from the rear. 126
Movement and Body Tempering
Rongrong was taught mobility techniques because Youquan considered self-protection essential for Support System Soul Masters. 55 77 82
- Explosive Step — Concentrates Soul Power beneath the feet for bursts of movement; she learned it to complete Flender's running punishment and used it to prove she had finished the assigned task. 56 58
- Wind Spirit Step — A movement skill given by Youquan after Rongrong's return to the sect. 77
- Three Thousand Lightning Movement — A more advanced technique that she trained after joining Spirit Hall Academy. 82 107
- Three Thousand Lightning Phantom Body — Produces a lightning clone; Rongrong used the clone's Glazed Palm to launch herself upward during her assessment. 184
- Wind-Thunder Body Tempering — Endured lightning-based body tempering and a medicinal bath, strengthening her physique and raising her Soul Power by two levels. 83
Nine-Colored Domain
Rongrong awakened the Nine-Colored Domain after reaching the 169th step of her assessment. 184
- Reduces the Soul Power cost of skills used within the domain to one-fifth of their normal consumption. 190
- Increases the effectiveness of her support abilities by fifty percent. 190
- Mitigates negative effects on allies, including the effects of hostile domains. 190
- Has no direct offensive effect against enemies. 190
Defensive Techniques
- Nine Treasure Divine Light Body Protection — Creates a massive nine-colored pagoda defense; it withstood Qian Daoliu's attacks and can endure nine attacks before breaking. 208
- Heart Separation Control — The principal cultivation focus for Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters, allowing refined management of her support abilities. 86 107
Relationships
- Youquan — Closest friend, mentor, and elder-sister figure. Youquan taught Rongrong movement and combat skills, helped evolve her martial soul, and supported her throughout her assessments. 56 77 82 183
- Ning Fengzhi — Father and Sect Master. Their relationship was strained by Rongrong's wish to join Spirit Hall, but improved after she chose to shoulder responsibility for their sect. 75 77 167
- Chen Xin (Sword Douluo) — A revered elder whom Rongrong calls Grandpa Sword; he was alarmed by her punishment and initially feared the effects of Youquan's pill. 75 77
- Gu Rong (Bone Douluo) — A doting elder whom Rongrong calls Grandpa Bone; he caught her when she collapsed after kneeling in the rain. 75
- Xiaoxiao — Friend and Nirvana Squad teammate. Xiaoxiao protected Rongrong from Dai Mubai and later used Phoenix Comes to assist her assessment. 62 184
- Dai Mubai — Rival from Shrek Academy. His contempt for Support System Soul Masters motivated Rongrong's combat training; she later incapacitated him with Glazed Palm and Glazed Light Chain. 61 115 126
- Oscar — Former Shrek classmate whose failure to confirm her completion of Flender's task contributed to their strained relationship. 57 58

Shrek Academy Conflict
At Shrek, Rongrong is subjected to Flender's punishment and clashes with Oscar and Dai Mubai. Youquan teaches her Explosive Step, allowing her to complete the running task and challenge Flender's accusation that she lied. 55 56 57 58 Her experiences at the academy ultimately reinforce her rejection of its values. 75
Nirvana Squad Training

Continental Advanced Academy Soul Master Tournament
Rongrong supports Nirvana Squad with Nine Treasures Invocation during the tournament, including against Thunder Academy and Elephant Armored Academy. 98 100 Her evolved pagoda shocks spectators and confirms the future renaming of her family's sect. 98 99 She also develops offensive skills specifically to prove that Support System Soul Masters should not be underestimated. 115 126
God Assessments

Notable Quotes

Trivia

- She originally considered taking the title “Nine Colors,” but instinctively rejected it and chose “Glazed Tile” instead. 238
- Her Nine-Colored Domain is entirely support-oriented despite her determination to become a combat-capable Support System Soul Master. 184 190
