Power Progression

Background / History

Ning Rongrong is the daughter of Ning Fengzhi and the designated heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She first arrives at Shrek Academy disguised behind a gentle, refined façade, but Dai Mubai recognizes her as the sect’s notorious “little witch” 10 11.

At Shrek, she initially resists the academy’s physical training because of her status as an auxiliary Soul Master. Dai Mubai argues that support Soul Masters are especially vulnerable on the battlefield and must be capable of protecting themselves. His criticism reduces her to tears, but his reminder of her future responsibilities as sect heir motivates her to continue 16.

Ning Rongrong gradually adapts to Shrek’s harsh regimen. She completes the fifty-lap punishment, arrives early for training, and begins competing with the other students rather than relying solely on her talent and family status 18 27.

Her first Soul Arena battle exposes her lack of practical combat experience. She panics when attacked by the Rocksplitter Brothers, Sun Yan and Sun Lie, but Dai Mubai protects her long enough for her to activate her support abilities. The experience begins turning her from a sheltered support specialist into a more reliable combat partner 23 24.

After learning that Dai Mubai is Zhu Zhuqing’s childhood fiancé and a prince of the Star Luo Empire, Ning Rongrong struggles between her feelings for him and her loyalty to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She ultimately chooses to remain connected to both, later following Dai Mubai to the Star Luo Empire 26 27 52.

Dai Mubai gives her the Aromatic Silk Beauty, allowing her martial soul to evolve into the legendary Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda. The breakthrough fulfills a long-standing dream of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and greatly increases her future potential 54 55 56.

Following the split in Shrek’s training groups, Ning Rongrong chooses Zhao Wuji’s instruction alongside Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun. Their regimen combines weighted running, gravity-field conditioning, combat practice, medicinal baths, and meditation 41. She continues this training during Dai Mubai’s absence and later accompanies his faction to Star Luo City, where she registers at Star Luo Royal Academy 51 65 72.

During a later Soul Ring expedition, Shi Nian attempts to kill Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing with illusions. Ning Rongrong supports her companions in the successful counterattack, after which Dai Mubai gives her Shi Nian’s Illusion Wisdom Head Soul Bone 81. Her subsequent advancement includes a fourth Soul Ring from a Scale Armor Beast and Level 42 cultivation, followed by Level 46 before her return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect 90 96.

After two years away from home, she returns with Dai Mubai and secures her father’s and the two guardian Douluos’ approval of their marriage alliance. Their agreement preserves her position as sect heir and allows children who inherit the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda to remain with the sect and succeed her 93 95 96. Ning Fengzhi later entrusts her with full authority over the sect’s affairs in Star Luo City, making her a practical link between her family’s organization and Dai Mubai’s Heavenly Strategy Sect 99.

She returns to Star Luo City with Dai Mubai after observing the Heaven Dou qualifiers. Their journey takes approximately five days by flight, with Rongrong enhancing his speed and Soul Power. She subsequently receives Dai Tianxing’s imperial decree granting her sect land near the Heavenly Strategy Sect for its Star Luo branch headquarters 133. Elder Ning Tianyuan arrives to assist with the sect’s affairs while she focuses on the tournament 137.

During the tournament’s grand finals, she publicly displays her Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda and supports the Second Team against Plant Academy and the Spirit Hall Academy Team 147 148 167 168. She also contributes support when Spirit Hall ambushes the party on its return journey 172. Afterward, Dai Mubai gives her a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit Right Leg Bone to improve her ability to protect herself 179 180 183.

Appearance

Ning Rongrong is portrayed as a delicate, refined young noblewoman with fair skin, delicate features, and a slender build. At her first appearance, she wears a light-blue skirt and enough jewelry to reveal her wealthy background 10.

• Usually presents herself with polished manners and a gentle expression.
• Wears elegant clothing associated with her noble upbringing.
• Her appearance contrasts sharply with the plainer clothing of many Shrek applicants 10.
• Her Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda becomes increasingly brilliant after her martial-soul evolution 55.
• At her first appearance, she is a little over 1.6 meters tall and is compared to a porcelain doll 10.
• Absorbing the Aromatic Silk Beauty gives her a more pronounced noble aura and a lustrous sheen to her skin 55.
• Continues wearing pale-blue clothing when introduced to the Star Luo imperial family 66.
• During her public tournament appearance, the nine-story pagoda radiates a gentle yet dazzling jeweled glow while her four Soul Rings pulse around her 147.

Personality

Ning Rongrong is intelligent, proud, emotionally expressive, and accustomed to privilege. Her soft voice and harmless appearance often conceal a mischievous and willful personality, which Dai Mubai identifies almost immediately 11.

She initially expects her status and exceptional martial soul to exempt her from the same hardships endured by battle Soul Masters. However, she responds strongly when challenged and converts humiliation into determination. Her decision to arrive early for training shows that her pride can become a source of perseverance rather than simple arrogance 16 27.

Despite her spoiled behavior, Ning Rongrong has a strong sense of responsibility toward her family and sect. Her conflict over Dai Mubai is difficult precisely because she refuses to abandon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for personal feelings alone 27.

She is also bold and openly affectionate once she becomes attached to Dai Mubai. Her persistence leads her to insist on partnering with him, publicly cling to him after their Soul Arena victory, and follow him to the Star Luo Empire 21 24 52.

Her attachment does not immediately eliminate jealousy: she reacts resentfully to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s closeness during their journey toward Tonglan City 59. By the time she meets Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er in Heaven Dou City, however, she is more secure in her relationship and openly states that she does not object to Dai Mubai having other partners 107.

Her return home demonstrates patience and consideration beneath her playful manner. Eager to see her family, she does not demand sightseeing stops during the long journey and quietly cultivates or rests in the carriage 94. She is deeply moved by Ning Fengzhi’s martial-soul breakthrough and remains attentive to the progress of Chen Xin and Gu Rong 102 125.

She also shares Dai Mubai’s mischievous enjoyment of political maneuvering. She recognizes his attempt to provoke the elemental academies against Tang San and silently enjoys the scheme, later supporting efforts to publicize Tang San’s revealed identity 108 123.

Her upbringing also gives her considerable social polish. While choosing jewelry in the sect treasury, she remembers gifts for Zhu Zhuqing and her other friends, prompting Dai Mubai to recognize her tact and ability to maintain relationships 101. Despite her familiarity with valuable treasures, she initially hesitates to accept the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone because she considers it too precious 179.

Abilities & Skills

Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda

The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda is a premier support-type Tool Martial Soul. Ning Rongrong can use it to enhance the physical and Soul Power capabilities of her allies.

• Her first two enhancements increase strength and speed by approximately 30% at her initial stage 12 23.

• Its enhancements stack with Oscar’s Rainbow Auspicious Cloud Sausage, greatly strengthening Ma Hongjun, Yang Pojun, and Zhu Zhuqing against Plant Academy 148.

• Expands her support abilities beyond strength, speed, and Soul Power to include defense 57 90.
• Is applied to Niu Zhen during the final showdown against the Spirit Hall Academy Team 168.

• The Soul Bone also improves her spiritual power and advances her Heart Separation Control to the Five-Aperture Scattered Heart stage 96.

Heart Separation Control

Ning Rongrong practices Heart Separation Control, a support-control technique that improves alongside her spiritual power after she absorbs her Head Soul Bone. By her return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she has reached the Five-Aperture Scattered Heart stage 96.

• Allows her to release up to five Soul Skills simultaneously and support five targets 148.
• Supports coordinated, multi-target enhancement during team combat, as demonstrated against Plant Academy 148.

Soft Bone Rabbit Right Leg Bone Skills

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit Right Leg Bone given to Ning Rongrong carries Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body. Dai Mubai chooses it specifically to address her vulnerability as a support Soul Master 179 180.

• Teleportation — Provides emergency evasion, allowing her to open distance and prevent enemies from closing in 180.
• Invincible Golden Body — Provides emergency defense to preserve her life when she is threatened 180.
• Dai Mubai later explains to Ning Fengzhi that the two lifesaving skills will protect Rongrong even if an enemy reaches close range. The supplied passages do not show her demonstrating either skill 183.

• Recovers from panic during her first match and successfully applies her enhancements under pressure 23.
• Completes Shrek’s fifty-lap endurance exercise despite initially refusing to continue 16 17 18.

• Responds to Spirit Hall’s roadside ambush by joining Oscar in enhancing Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing as the enemy Soul Masters charge 172.

Firearm Proficiency

Initially unfamiliar with firearms, Ning Rongrong develops practical proficiency with the pistol given to her by Dai Mubai 29 99.

• Can aim, fire, reload, and explain the weapon’s operation clearly 99.
• Demonstrates its penetrating power against Chen Xin’s sword-intent barrier 99.
• Uses a weapon that requires no Soul Power, providing a self-defense option outside her support martial soul 29 99.

Other Talents

• Alcohol tolerance — At a celebration before her return home, she unexpectedly drinks more than the other young members of the group without her face changing color or her pulse quickening 93.

Equipment / Items

• Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda — Her evolved martial soul and primary support ability 55.
• Pistol — A non-Soul-Power firearm given to her by Dai Mubai for self-defense during future Soul Beast hunts. It can injure a prepared Soul King and wound a prepared Soul Emperor 29. She later demonstrates practiced shooting and reloading before her father and the sect guardians 99.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty — Immortal Herb that evolved her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda 54 55.
• Whale Rubber — Millennium-grade body-tempering material supplied by Dai Mubai to help her absorb Soul Rings beyond her normal limit 57. He initially instructs her to consume one piece daily; her later 6,500-year fourth ring demonstrates the effectiveness of the method 57 103.
• Illusion Wisdom Head Soul Bone — Roughly 30,000-year gem-type Soul Bone recovered from Shi Nian. Grants Illusion Space, improves spiritual power, and advances Heart Separation Control to Five-Aperture Scattered Heart 81 96.

• Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit Right Leg Bone — Given to her by Dai Mubai for absorption after the tournament and return journey. Its Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body skills are intended to provide powerful personal protection 179 180 183.

Relationships

• Dai Mubai — Senior student, leader, romantic partner, and later acknowledged husband. He trains her, protects her during her first Soul Arena battle, gives her the Aromatic Silk Beauty, and accepts her continued loyalty to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect 16 23 52 54 55 56. He also gives her the Illusion Wisdom Head Soul Bone and accompanies her home to request her family’s blessing. Their marriage alliance is approved with provisions protecting her sect succession, and Ning Fengzhi subsequently introduces him as her husband 81 93 96 102. She supports his flight back to Star Luo City and fights as a member of his tournament team 133 148 167 168. His later gift of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit Right Leg Bone is explicitly intended to safeguard her against close-range threats 179 180 183.
• Zhu Zhuqing — Teammate and confidante. Their relationship begins with jealousy over Dai Mubai but develops into mutual understanding; Zhu Zhuqing explains her engagement to Dai and later comforts Ning Rongrong 26 27. Although jealousy occasionally resurfaces, Rongrong continues treating Zhu Zhuqing warmly and shares her happiness about returning home with her 59 93. Her speed enhancement helps Zhu Zhuqing overwhelm Plant Academy’s members, and she again assigns Zhu Zhuqing speed support during the final showdown 148 168.
• Ning Fengzhi — Father, sect master, and the person responsible for Ning Rongrong’s future as heir to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect 19 66. He approves her marriage alliance after the succession issue is resolved and delegates the sect’s Star Luo City affairs to her 96 99. Rongrong is moved by his evolution into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and eagerly asks about his first eighth Soul Skill when he returns from his hunt 102 125. He sends Ning Tianyuan and capable disciples to assist her in establishing the Star Luo branch 133 137. After learning of her new Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, he thanks Dai Mubai for protecting her; Rongrong remains reluctant to part when he and Chen Xin leave Star Luo City 183.
• Tang San — Shrek teammate and participant in the academy’s early training and Soul Arena activities 12 21. Their paths separate when she follows Zhao Wuji and later leaves with Dai Mubai 41 52. She subsequently confirms having seen Tang San use a small black hammer during the entrance test and supports Dai Mubai’s efforts to publicize his revealed twin martial souls 104 123. Her later improvement shocks Tang San when the Star Luo Second Team reveals its strength at the grand finals 147 148.
• Xiao Wu — Shrek teammate and roommate during Ning Rongrong’s first days at the academy; Xiao Wu also helps care for her after exhausting training 14 18.
• Oscar — Shrek teammate and fellow support-oriented Soul Master. Dai Mubai compares Oscar’s physical endurance with Ning Rongrong’s during her initial training 16. Oscar initially considers pursuing her, but Dai Mubai discourages him with a fabricated sect marriage rule 16. They later serve as complementary support specialists, combining his sausages with her pagoda enhancements in tournament combat and strengthening Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing during Spirit Hall’s ambush 148 167 168 172.
• Ma Hongjun — Shrek teammate. Their attempted partnership is rejected by Ning Rongrong because of his Evil Fire condition 21. She later supports his attacks against Plant Academy and provides him with Soul Power enhancement in the final showdown 148 168.
• Zhao Wuji — Teacher and training supervisor. He evaluates Ning Rongrong during the entrance test and later oversees the demanding regimen she follows 12 41. She continues following his instruction after the academy’s training split and joins the Star Luo Royal Academy Second Team under his supervision 51 72.
• Chen Xin / Sword Douluo — Sect guardian and beloved grandfather figure, addressed affectionately as “Grandpa Sword” or “Grandpa Jian.” He is intensely protective of her and initially suspicious of Dai Mubai, but approves the relationship after learning of Dai’s gifts and commitment to her future 19 95 96. He also helps her demonstrate her pistol’s effectiveness 99. He watches her public display of the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda with gratification during the grand finals 147.
• Gu Rong / Bone Douluo — Sect guardian and beloved grandfather figure, addressed as “Grandpa Bone.” He warmly welcomes her home, supports her marriage alliance, and affectionately teases her for favoring Dai Mubai 95 96 99.
• Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er — Acquaintances met in Heaven Dou City. Rongrong exchanges friendly compliments with them, openly discusses her Level 46 cultivation and martial-soul evolution, and reacts without hostility to Yue’er’s interest in Dai Mubai 106 107 109.
• Song Qing — Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect emissary sent to request her return. His account of her family’s concern prompts her eventual journey home with Dai Mubai 93.
• Xue Qinghe — Heaven Dou Crown Prince and Ning Fengzhi’s student. Rongrong supports Dai Mubai during their exchanges with him and enjoys his discomfort after learning of their approved union and large betting winnings 115. Her public martial-soul display later deepens Xue Qinghe’s concern about the Star Luo team’s strength 147.
• Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s advanced elders — After obtaining their ninth Soul Rings, the three newly advanced Titled Douluos pledge loyalty to Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong, strengthening the support available to her as sect heir 125.
• Ning Tianyuan — Sect elder assigned to bring capable disciples to Star Luo City and assist Rongrong with the new branch. She addresses him as “Grandpa Ning” and offers to be contacted at the academy if he needs anything, while he encourages her to prioritize the tournament 133 137.
• Dai Tianxing — Star Luo emperor and Dai Mubai’s father. Her identity as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s heir impresses him at their first meeting 66. After the alliance is secured, he grants her sect land for its Star Luo branch and hands the decree directly to her 133.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy Admission

Ning Rongrong passes Shrek’s preliminary examination by presenting herself as a gentle, reasonable young lady. She is then guided through the academy by Dai Mubai and joins Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing in the fourth entrance test 11 12.

Training and Personal Growth

Her resistance to physical training becomes one of Shrek’s early character conflicts. Dai Mubai forces her to confront the weaknesses created by privilege, after which she begins training seriously and develops greater endurance and determination 16 17 18 27.

When Shrek’s students divide between Zhao Wuji and Yu Xiaogang, she chooses Zhao Wuji’s comprehensive training program. Her continued effort during Dai Mubai’s three-month absence raises her Soul Power to Level 28 41 51.

During the earlier Star Dou Great Forest expedition, Dai Mubai shields her and Zhu Zhuqing with his body when the Titan Giant Ape overwhelms the group with its shockwave and Gravity Domain 34. Later, when he is ordered to campaign against the Wolf Bandits, Rongrong asks to accompany him, but he insists that she remain at the academy and continue cultivating 83.

White Tiger Pagoda Combination

Ning Rongrong insists on partnering with Dai Mubai in the Soul Arena, creating the White Tiger Pagoda Combination. During her first match, she contributes only limited direct action but successfully enhances Dai Mubai while he protects her from the Rocksplitter Brothers, Sun Yan and Sun Lie 21 22 23 24.

Conflict Between Love and Sect Duty

Ning Rongrong develops strong feelings for Dai Mubai but becomes conflicted after learning that he is already engaged to Zhu Zhuqing and belongs to the Star Luo imperial family. She refuses to treat her sect obligations casually, yet ultimately chooses to remain with Dai Mubai without abandoning her family or sect 26 27 56.

Dai Mubai’s reassurance resolves her immediate fear of having to choose between him and the sect 56. The issue later becomes a formal succession concern during their visit to Ning Fengzhi, leading to a marriage agreement that protects her position as heir 96.

Departure from Shrek

When Shrek Academy disbands, Ning Rongrong immediately chooses to accompany Dai Mubai instead of returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy 51 52. Her decision marks her transition from Shrek student to member of Dai Mubai’s emerging political faction.

Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda

Dai Mubai gives Ning Rongrong the Aromatic Silk Beauty, and she successfully evolves her martial soul into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda. The breakthrough transforms her personal potential and carries major importance for her entire sect 54 55 56.

When she eventually demonstrates the evolved pagoda at home, Ning Fengzhi recognizes that she has achieved the goal that generations of sect masters failed to realize 96.

Her later public display at the grand finals makes the evolution visible to rival teams and leading spectators. Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin watch with satisfaction, while Xue Qinghe becomes more concerned about the Star Luo Empire’s growing strength 147.

Star Luo Royal Academy Second Team

Ning Rongrong joins Dai Mubai’s reorganized tournament team as its Level 36 support-type Soul Elder. After obtaining her third Soul Ring, she can enhance all three of her support abilities by 40%, making her one of the team’s central strategic assets 57 74.

She accompanies the group to Star Luo City, where her background and status as Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect heir impress Dai Tianxing. She subsequently registers her level and martial soul at Star Luo Royal Academy 65 66 72.

Her training later brings her to Level 42 after obtaining her fourth Soul Ring, which adds defense amplification to her support repertoire. Dai Mubai then announces a further increase in training intensity ahead of the tournament 90.

While she and Dai Mubai are away in Heaven Dou, their teammates finish the Star Luo preliminaries undefeated. The pair return before the advancement tournament and rejoin the team at the Soul Master Legion’s Northern Camp 133 137.

Shi Nian’s Ambush and Head Soul Bone

During the group’s later Soul Ring expedition, Shi Nian lures Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing outside town through an illusion. Once Dai Mubai exposes him, Ning Rongrong immediately boosts her companions while Zhu Zhuqing uses concealment and Dai Mubai attacks directly. Their coordinated counterattack kills Shi Nian 81.

Dai Mubai gives Ning Rongrong the recovered 30,000-year Illusion Wisdom Head Soul Bone. By her return home, she has absorbed it and can demonstrate Illusion Space, adding spiritual enhancement, mental linkage, and enemy confusion to her abilities. The absorption also advances her Heart Separation Control to Five-Aperture Scattered Heart 81 96.

Return Home and Marriage Alliance

Song Qing arrives at Star Luo Royal Academy to ask Ning Rongrong to return home. She initially refuses to leave Dai Mubai before the tournament, but happily agrees once he offers to accompany her 93. They travel toward Heaven Dou City with Yang Wudi; Rongrong remains safely at an inn while Dai Mubai and Yang visit the Icefire Yin Yang Well 94 95.

Her reunion with Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong reveals both her affection for her family and the extent of her growth. She introduces Dai Mubai as the man she has chosen, displays Level 46 cultivation and her Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda, and demonstrates Illusion Space 95 96.

Ning Fengzhi’s principal concern is preserving her future as sect master. The couple explains that Rongrong will remain a member of the sect and that children inheriting her pagoda martial soul may stay there and succeed her. Ning Fengzhi and the two guardian Douluos approve the alliance 96.

Sect Affairs and Commercial Cooperation

Ning Fengzhi agrees to cooperate with the Heavenly Strategy Sect by distributing its pills and forged goods through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s continent-wide commercial network. He gives Rongrong full authority over the sect’s Star Luo City affairs and plans to provide capable assistants, while advising her to prioritize cultivation and consult Dai Mubai on important matters 99.

Rongrong demonstrates her pistol before her father and the guardians, helping establish its value as a self-defense weapon for support Soul Masters. When Ning Fengzhi insists on paying ten million Gold Soul Coins for Dai Mubai’s gift of 500 pistols and 50,000 bullets, she accepts the payment on Dai’s behalf and rejects Gu Rong’s playful suggestion that she is favoring an outsider 99.

Before she returns to Star Luo City, Ning Fengzhi promises to send Ning Tianyuan with capable disciples to establish a formal branch and assist her. Dai Tianxing subsequently grants the sect land in the east of the city near the Heavenly Strategy Sect, and Rongrong accepts the imperial decree on its behalf 133.

Once Ning Tianyuan arrives, he takes responsibility for the sect’s immediate affairs so Rongrong and Dai Mubai can focus on the advancement tournament. Rongrong tells him to send someone to the academy if he needs her assistance 137.

Strengthening Her Family and Sect

Dai Mubai provides specially matched Immortal Herbs for Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong. Ning Rongrong responds with heartfelt gratitude, then guides him through the treasury using the access granted by her father 100 101.

She witnesses Ning Fengzhi’s evolution into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and embraces him after learning that he has finally overcome his Level 79 limit. She also eagerly checks on the breakthroughs of Chen Xin and Gu Rong 101 102. These successes lead Ning Fengzhi to pledge that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will advance and retreat together with Dai Mubai 102.

Rongrong’s unusually old fourth Soul Ring later serves as evidence for Dai Mubai’s explanation of Whale Rubber, persuading Ning Fengzhi to strengthen his body before obtaining his eighth ring 103. When her father returns at Level 86 with a 65,000-year eighth Soul Ring, she eagerly asks about the hunt and his new skill, Eight Treasures Heaven-Illuminating Divine Light. The three newly advanced sect elders also pledge loyalty to her and Dai Mubai 125.

Heaven Dou Tournament Observation and Political Maneuvering

Ning Rongrong remains with Dai Mubai in Heaven Dou City to observe the tournament while Zhu Zhuqing leads the Star Luo Royal Academy Second Team through its qualifiers 94 100. She meets the Skywater sisters and other elemental academy talents, openly reveals her Level 46 cultivation, and recognizes Dai Mubai’s intention to turn their competitive pride against Tang San 106 107 108.

She also supports Dai Mubai’s political discussions with her family, confirming that Tang San used a small black hammer during Shrek’s entrance assessment 104. Their tournament activities include winning 200 million Gold Soul Coins through betting on Canghui Academy, a result Dai Mubai uses to needle Xue Qinghe 114 115.

After Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer is publicly revealed, she agrees to return with Dai Mubai and ask Gu Rong to spread the news widely 123. She continues attending the qualifiers with Dai Mubai through the twenty-first round 126.

Return to Star Luo and the Advancement Tournament

Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai depart the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after securing its alliance and plans for a Star Luo branch. Rather than traveling by carriage, Dai Mubai carries her by flight while she supplies speed and Soul Power enhancements. They reach Star Luo City in approximately five days 133.

The pair report the alliance and the tensions surrounding the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall to Dai Tianxing. After securing the branch’s land grant, they return to their teammates ahead of the advancement matches 133. With Ning Tianyuan handling the sect’s local affairs, Rongrong joins the Second Team at the Northern Camp for the tournament’s opening 137.

Grand Finals and Team Support

Against Plant Academy in the grand finals’ first round, Ning Rongrong reveals her evolved martial soul and four-ring configuration publicly. Her growth helps shock Tang San and Yu Xiaogang and establishes the Star Luo Second Team as a serious threat to its rivals 147 148.

She enhances Ma Hongjun, Yang Pojun, and Zhu Zhuqing while Oscar supplies Rainbow Auspicious Cloud Sausages. The combined support strengthens their attacks, and her speed enhancement allows Zhu Zhuqing to move too quickly for Plant Academy’s members to track. The Second Team wins after Zhu Zhuqing eliminates the final opponent 148.

In the championship match against the Spirit Hall Academy Team, Rongrong initially enhances Dai Mubai as Hu Liena and Xie Yue deploy Demon Charm 167. She later commits her remaining strength to four precisely assigned enhancements: speed for Zhu Zhuqing, defense for Niu Zhen, Soul Power for Ma Hongjun, and strength for Yang Pojun. Together with her earlier strength and Soul Power support for Dai Mubai, these applications leave her reserves essentially exhausted 168.

Spirit Hall Ambush and Lifesaving Soul Bone

During the return journey toward Star Luo City, Spirit Hall attacks the traveling party at a narrow, hilly pass. Falling boulders divide the convoy, and more than a hundred black-clad Soul Masters appear alongside Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Demon Bear Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo. As Dai Mubai orders the group into formation, Rongrong and Oscar enhance him and Zhu Zhuqing for the approaching battle 172.

Afterward, during a distribution of rewards, Dai Mubai presents Rongrong with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit Right Leg Bone. She initially refuses because of its extraordinary value, but accepts after he reassures her 179. Its Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body skills are selected to give her emergency escape and defense, reducing the danger posed by enemies reaching her position 180.

Rongrong later tells Ning Fengzhi about the gift. He expresses gratitude when Dai Mubai explains its protective purpose, and she affectionately sees her father and Chen Xin off when they depart 183.
