Ning Rongrong

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Ning Rongrong is Ning Fengzhi’s only daughter and the treasured young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Raised amid immense wealth and protection from Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong, she develops a spoiled, proud, and headstrong temperament despite her exceptional innate talent. 2 12

Before joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she secretly leaves the sect intending to travel to Shrek Academy. Her journey ends abruptly when a 1,200-year Netherworld Demon Wolf pursues her near the Star Dou Great Forest, where Gu Feng rescues her. 2 3

With level-9 Innate Soul Power, she is regarded as the sect’s greatest genius in a century. She has already reached level 26 at just over eleven years old, although Chen Xin believes that greater diligence could have brought her to level 28, 29, or even 30 by that point. 3 5

Ning Fengzhi had previously wanted her to attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy. She initially found the prospect uninteresting and disliked having no sect companion there, but Gu Feng’s presence changes her attitude toward enrollment. 13

Appearance

Ning Rongrong is a fair young girl with refined features and an aristocratic bearing. She is first seen in an exquisite white dress and white leather boots, both dirtied and torn while fleeing through the forest; later, she commonly wears practical combat clothing or short dresses suited to travel and arena battles. 2 7

• Often carries herself with her chin raised, attempting to preserve the dignity of the sect’s “little princess.” 3
• Her polished appearance contrasts sharply with the mud-stained and disheveled state in which Gu Feng first encounters her. 2
• Wields a radiant glazed pagoda Martial Soul, initially with seven levels and later with nine. 8 35
• Has chin-length short hair when first encountered by Gu Feng. 2
• Her evolved pagoda emits flowing nine-colored radiance and treasure light. 35
• Wears a pink-and-white nightdress when visiting Gu Feng’s room after their later Star Dou Great Forest expedition. 86

Personality

Ning Rongrong begins as arrogant, pampered, and accustomed to being indulged. She initially doubts that Gu Feng—plainly dressed and claiming common birth—could genuinely be a Soul Elder stronger than herself. Nevertheless, she thanks him for saving her and eventually accepts his criticism of her assumptions about Shrek Academy. 3

Her pride makes her intensely competitive. When Gu Feng turns their journey to Heaven Dou City into foot-travel training, she repeatedly reaches exhaustion but refuses to quit or admit defeat. Over sixteen days, this stubbornness becomes genuine discipline and materially improves her endurance and Soul Power foundation. 6 7

Though possessive and easily jealous where Gu Feng is concerned, she is also sincere, loyal, and willing to confront her own insecurities. She offers the Aromatic Silk Beauty to Ning Fengzhi before accepting that her greater potential makes her the proper recipient, and she proves the purity of her feelings by plucking the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. 10 19 34 35

Her growing dedication is partly motivated by a fear of being left behind. After witnessing Gu Feng’s combat talent, she resolves not to become a mere ornament or lose the ability to support him. She later explicitly declares that she intends to become his strongest support. 25 44

Gu Feng’s explanation that earlier advancement to Titled Douluo can preserve a more youthful appearance gives her an additional incentive to cultivate. Over ten months, their relentless training encourages the entire Imperial Fighting Team to work harder. Her discipline does not eliminate her playful temperament: she remains affectionate, fond of teasing, and enthusiastic about pastries, shopping, and being pampered by Gu Feng. 46 51 87

She is outspoken in defending him. Her spontaneous description of him as “my Gu Feng” embarrasses her but openly establishes her possessiveness before their teammates. She also sharply ridicules Yu Xiaogang’s criticism and failed predictions after the Imperial Fighting Team defeats Shrek. 42 64

Her confidence in Gu Feng coexists with genuine concern for his safety. When he proposes a fifth Soul Ring from a 40,000–50,000-year beast, she insists that he seek the sect elders’ protection rather than attempt the hunt alone. 78

Abilities & Skills

Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda

Ning Rongrong’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolves into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda after she absorbs the Aromatic Silk Beauty. The evolution removes the inherited restriction that prevented the sect’s support-type Soul Masters from progressing beyond seven Soul Rings. 34 35 36

• Provides battlefield support through strength, speed, and Soul Power enhancement. 8 36
• Her first two support abilities initially increase Gu Feng’s strength and speed by 30%. 8
• After obtaining her third Soul Ring, all three current support effects rise to 40%. 36
• Her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is regarded as capable of potentially raising its amplification to 100% once it possesses nine Soul Rings. 36
• After obtaining her fourth Soul Ring, she can increase strength, speed, Soul Power, and defense by 50% each. 53
• Simultaneously directs sixteen streams of nine-colored light into Gu Feng, Dugu Yan, Yu Feng, and Osler, granting all four enhancements to each teammate during the spar against Shrek. 59
• Continues providing 50% amplification at level 45, including during Gu Feng’s intervention against Shi Nian. 96

Third Soul Skill: Soul Power Amplification

Her third Soul Skill provides Soul Power enhancement; obtaining the third ring also raises the amplification of her existing support abilities. 36

• Raises her strength, speed, and Soul Power boosts from 30% to 40%. 36
• Enables Gu Feng to rapidly immobilize and defeat the 19,000-year Wind-Splitting Demon Falcon. 36
• Demonstrates the offensive value of her support role when paired with a highly mobile combatant. 36
• Remains part of her four-attribute support combination after she becomes a Soul Ancestor, with its amplification reaching 50%. 53 59

Fourth Soul Skill: Defense Amplification

Her fourth Soul Skill adds defense to the attributes enhanced by her pagoda. Its first demonstrated use accompanies her two-yellow, two-purple Soul Ring configuration in the Suotuo Great Soul Arena. 53

• Provides a 50% defense increase alongside her strength, speed, and Soul Power boosts. 53
• Can be distributed to several teammates together with her other enhancements. 59
• Is invoked through the fourth portion of her pagoda incantation: “Fourth: Defense.” 53

Heart Separation Control

Ning Rongrong practices the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s secret Heart Separation Control technique, which divides attention between multiple Soul Power streams and tasks. By the time she teaches Gu Feng, she has reached Three-Aperture Controlling Mind, also described as One Mind, Three Uses. 38 39

• Teaches introductory exercises such as drawing a square with one hand and a circle with the other. 38
• Explains how to circulate the first Soul Skill’s Soul Power route on one side while mobilizing the second skill’s route on the other. 38
• Is surprised when Gu Feng reaches One Mind, Two Uses after only one night of practice and resolves not to let him surpass her. 39

Enhanced Physique and Ring Tolerance

Whale Rubber treatments, medicinal baths, and the Lovesick Heartbreak Red strengthen Ning Rongrong’s body, meridians, and stamina. 21 35

• Endures Gu Feng’s prolonged foot-travel training and learns to circulate Soul Power through her legs. 6 7
• Smoothly absorbs a 3,000-year third Soul Ring, despite the usual third-ring limit being approximately 1,700 years. 36
• Becomes physically capable of accompanying Gu Feng on dangerous forest expeditions rather than remaining only a protected support Soul Master. 30 36
• Later repeats running-based travel training during the ten-day return to Heaven Dou City, using forests and mountain trails to improve stamina and Soul Power control. 64

Lovesick Heartbreak Red Test

The Lovesick Heartbreak Red can only be plucked by someone whose love is completely sincere and unwavering. Ning Rongrong succeeds by offering her heart’s blood while thinking of Gu Feng. 34 35

• Her success serves as proof of her devotion to Gu Feng. 35
• The herb raises her Soul Power to level 30 and improves her physical foundation. 35
• She initially wishes to preserve the flower as a keepsake, but chooses to consume it so she can continue standing beside Gu Feng. 35

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Cultivation

Gu Feng brings Rongrong to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for secluded cultivation before the tournament. He gives her an Aromatic Silk Beauty to repel the surrounding poisons and plans to teach her how to use the site’s origin power to temper her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. 69

Their routine combines meditation, afternoon Soul Skill coordination practice, and continued cultivation in the secluded valley. Rongrong reaches level 43 there and later advances to level 45 during the extended training period. 71 78

Relationships

• Gu Feng — Rescuer, fellow sect disciple, combat partner, and boyfriend. Their relationship develops from mutual teasing and travel companionship into an openly declared romantic commitment; she later proves her love through the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. 2 7 19 35 She teaches him Heart Separation Control, cultivates alongside him, and insists on proper protection before his dangerous fifth-ring hunt. Their partnership remains central to both her cultivation and battlefield role. 38 69 78 82
• Ning Fengzhi — Father and sect master. He entrusts her journey to Gu Feng, supports her relationship with him, and prioritizes her use of the Aromatic Silk Beauty over his own potential benefit. 6 19 34 He later promises to obtain a suitable ten-thousand-year Soul Bone for her and intends to purchase a rare Gem-Class Head Soul Bone at auction. 44 92
• Chen Xin — “Grandpa Sword” and protective elder. He initially follows her in secret after she runs away and later recognizes Gu Feng’s beneficial influence on her maturity. 2 7 20 He supports obtaining the Gem-Class Head Soul Bone for her. 92
• Gu Rong — “Grandpa Bone” and protective elder. He is initially skeptical of Gu Feng’s closeness to her, but gradually accepts him after witnessing his talent and commitment. 14 15 20 Rongrong jokingly compares him to a bandit when he boasts about extracting Soul Bones from Tang Hao. During Gu Feng’s fifth-ring absorption, she relies on his reassurance and readiness to intervene. 66 82
• Old Jack — Gu Feng’s adoptive grandfather. Rongrong meets him after he is relocated to the sect’s territory and makes an effort to help with his simple household life. 20
• Dugu Yan — Rival and future Imperial Fighting Team teammate. Rongrong clashes with her following Gu Feng’s arena victory and is jealous of the mercy he shows her. 10 13 21 As teammates, they cooperate in battle, while Dugu Yan repeatedly teases Rongrong about her conspicuous affection for Gu Feng. 51 58 59 62
• Imperial Fighting Team — Joins as a core member alongside Gu Feng after enrolling at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. 13 21 Their intensive training helps motivate the other members, and her four-attribute amplification becomes a major asset in team combat. 46 59
• Xue Qinghe / Qian Renxue — Rongrong knows the disguised crown prince as “Brother Qinghe” and treats him with familiar, trusting affection. She and Gu Feng visit him weekly during their academy training, and he provides resources, hospitality, and information about a Soul Bone suitable for her. His true identity remains concealed from her in these interactions. 42 46 64 88
• Qin Ming — Recruiter and original Imperial Fighting Team instructor. He identifies Rongrong’s background, invites her and Gu Feng to the academy, and respects the sect’s secrecy after learning of her Martial Soul evolution. She later learns that he resigned following the failed Shrek merger. 12 13 40 87
• Xue Li — New Imperial Fighting Team leader appointed by the crown prince. Rongrong meets her upon returning from seclusion and proudly reveals Gu Feng’s Soul King breakthrough. 87
• Yu Xiaogang — Object of her criticism after he belittles Gu Feng and misjudges the match against Shrek. She recounts his failed predictions to Xue Qinghe with open mockery. 64
• Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er — Skywater Academy members encountered during the tournament. Rongrong becomes jealous when Shui Yue’er draws attention to Gu Feng’s compliments, but the groups part politely after he introduces Rongrong as his girlfriend. 94

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rescue in the Star Dou Great Forest

While fleeing a Netherworld Demon Wolf, Ning Rongrong asks Gu Feng for help and witnesses his third-ring Soul Elder strength. The encounter humbles her, challenges her assumptions about common-born Soul Masters, and begins her attachment to him. 2 3

Recruitment into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

After witnessing Gu Feng’s talent and his self-created Vacuum technique, Ning Fengzhi recruits him as a core disciple. Rongrong immediately welcomes him into the sect and insists that he call her “Rongrong” rather than “Miss Ning.” 4 5

Foot-Travel Training to Heaven Dou City

Ning Fengzhi places Rongrong in Gu Feng’s care for the trip to Heaven Dou City. Although she initially expects carriage travel and complains about the hardship, she persists through sixteen days of foot travel, improving her endurance, Soul Power control, and trust in Gu Feng. 6 7

Great Soul Arena Debut

Rongrong registers as “Seven Treasures Glazed Tile,” while she and Gu Feng compete as the “Glazed Wind” duo. She provides strength and speed support against the Berserk Giant Bear brothers, continues buffing Gu Feng while he carries her out of danger, and places all of their earnings on his solo victory. 7 8 9

Relationship with Gu Feng

Her jealousy after Gu Feng spares Dugu Yan reveals that her feelings have deepened beyond ordinary companionship. After learning why he showed restraint, she accepts his reasoning; later, they acknowledge their relationship, share their first kiss, and receive Ning Fengzhi’s approval. 10 11 19

Their affection becomes increasingly public. Rongrong defends “my Gu Feng” before their teammates, declares her intention to become his strongest support, and remains committed to cultivating beside him. Gu Feng initially declines her request to stay overnight, emphasizing cultivation and asking that they wait until at least eighteen before deepening their intimacy. 42 44 46

After the later Star Dou Great Forest expedition, she visits his room with a pillow and insists on sleeping beside him, citing her fear of the Titan Giant Ape. They share an affectionate night before preparing to return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. 86

Enrollment at Heaven Dou Royal Academy

Ning Rongrong and Gu Feng accept Qin Ming’s invitation to join the Imperial Fighting Team. She enrolls at Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Gu Feng at her side, formally beginning her role on the academy’s main team for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. 13 21

After obtaining her third ring, she reveals her level-38 cultivation to the team. Qin Ming notices the additional levels of her pagoda during tactical training and learns that it has become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The academy leadership reports the development to the crown prince but avoids investigating the sect’s secrets. 39 40

Immortal Herb Transformation

During the expedition to Dugu Bo’s medicinal garden, Gu Feng identifies the Aromatic Silk Beauty as the treasure capable of evolving her Martial Soul. Ning Rongrong first absorbs the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, then the Aromatic Silk Beauty, reaching level 30 and acquiring the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. She still needs her third Soul Ring to enter the Soul Elder realm. 31 34 35

Third Soul Ring

In Sunset Forest, Ning Rongrong absorbs a 3,000-year Scale-Armored Beast as her third Soul Ring. Her Soul Power rises to level 38, and her new Soul Power Amplification skill raises her three current support effects to 40%. 36

Teaching Heart Separation Control

When Gu Feng’s experimental rotating wind attack proves difficult to control, Ning Fengzhi authorizes him to learn Heart Separation Control. Rongrong volunteers as his teacher and explains the introductory divided-attention exercises. Gu Feng’s rapid mastery of One Mind, Two Uses surprises her and renews her determination to maintain her own lead in the technique. 38 39

Intensive Academy Training and Soul Arena Tour

Over ten months, Rongrong and Gu Feng cultivate with exceptional diligence, pushing the Imperial Fighting Team toward stronger training habits. Rongrong advances to level 42 and gains her fourth ring and defense support ability. The team then begins a practical-combat tour of provincial Great Soul Arenas ahead of the tournament. 46 53

In Suotuo City, she and Gu Feng compete under the name “Clear Breeze Team” against the Rampaging Twin Bears, two level-41 Soul Ancestors. She gives him 50% increases to strength, speed, Soul Power, and defense, helping him defeat both opponents in less than ten seconds. 53

Spar Against Shrek Academy

Rongrong participates in the Imperial Fighting Team’s six-person lineup against Shrek alongside Gu Feng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Yu Feng, and Osler. At Gu Feng’s command, she grants all four of her enhancements to the team’s four attacking members, sharply increasing their combat effectiveness. 58 59

The Imperial Fighting Team wins decisively, with Gu Feng overwhelming Shrek’s main combatants and defeating the Hell White Tiger fusion technique. Rongrong celebrates his victory and leaves with him for their promised late-night meal. She later recounts the battle to Xue Qinghe, criticizing Yu Xiaogang’s arrogance and unsuccessful tactical predictions. 62 64

Return Journey and Secluded Cultivation

Rongrong and Gu Feng return to Heaven Dou City on foot over ten days, continuing their stamina and Soul Power control training. After visiting the crown prince, they return to the sect and prepare for secluded cultivation before the tournament. 64 66

Gu Feng subsequently brings her to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, protects her from its poisonous surroundings, and guides her cultivation. She reaches level 43 while training there and advances to level 45 over the extended period of seclusion. Their routine includes meditation and coordinated Soul Skill practice. 69 71 78

Gu Feng’s Fifth Soul Ring Hunt

When Gu Feng reaches level 50 and proposes hunting a 40,000–50,000-year beast, Rongrong fears the danger and insists that he return to the sect for the elders’ assistance. She accompanies him to obtain the Soul Bones arranged through the crown prince before the hunt proceeds. 78 79

During the ensuing Star Dou Great Forest expedition, her pagoda enhancements help Gu Feng kill the 50,000-year Wind-Thunder Heavenly Demon Carving. She anxiously watches his absorption and asks Gu Rong about his condition, then reacts with amazement when he successfully reaches level 55. 82

Return to the Academy and Tournament Preparations

Rongrong returns to Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Gu Feng and learns that Xue Li has replaced Qin Ming as the Imperial Fighting Team’s leader. With their teammates still in seclusion, the couple leave rather than interrupt training and spend the day shopping and eating in Heaven Dou City. 86 87

During the tournament period, rival academies do not initially know that Rongrong and Gu Feng belong to Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s seeded team. Their meeting with the Skywater Academy members reveals their status as concealed aces, prompting Shui Bing’er to reassess the team’s strength. 94

Gem-Class Head Soul Bone

Xue Qinghe informs Rongrong and Gu Feng that a ten-thousand-year gem-type Soul Bone suitable for her will soon be auctioned. Ning Fengzhi promises to buy it, and Chen Xin supports the purchase. 88 92

The bone is stolen from the auction house’s sealed vault before the sale. Rongrong is initially devastated, but Gu Feng restores her spirits by promising to win her an even better Soul Bone through victory in the Continental Soul Master Elite Tournament. No absorption of the stolen bone by Rongrong is established in the available events. 92

Confrontation with Shi Nian

When Shi Nian ambushes Feng Xiaotian, Rongrong supports Gu Feng’s intervention by immediately invoking all four pagoda enhancements. At level 45, she supplies 50% increases to strength, speed, Soul Power, and defense and urges Gu Feng to attack Shi Nian. 95 96
