Background
Ning Rongrong is Ning Fengzhi's daughter and the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As a child, she relied heavily on the promised protection of Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, believing that an auxiliary Soul Master's greatest priority was finding powerful teammates rather than studying theory. Her poor theoretical assessment results reflected this outlook. 27
She initially developed resentment toward Han Tao because he treated her with formal distance rather than personal attention. After seeing his diligence and advancement, she resolved to surpass him academically and began quietly studying and cultivating. Her progress led her to level 30 and to Shrek Academy, where she hid her identity, observed her peers, and analyzed their resources and Martial Souls. 38
Rongrong soon rejected Shrek Academy's methods and returned to her sect. Yang Wudi recognized her talent for pharmacology and accepted her as a disciple. While studying under him, she learned of the Aromatic Silk Beauty and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. 39
At the well, Rongrong secretly entered the Poisonous Barrier, used the Snow Swan Kiss to expand it beyond the reach of even a Peerless Douluo, and seized the Immortal Herbs for herself. She consumed numerous herbs despite the danger, causing her Soul Power to reach level 40 and evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. 42 43 44
Her excessive consumption left medicinal power that her physique struggled to metabolize. This limitation later became a major reason for her research into physique enhancement, microscopic soul power structure, soul bones, and body-energy transformation. 79 187
Personality
Rongrong is bold, willful, and often openly disobedient toward authority. She left the sect to seek companions, entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without permission, shared a restricted sect technique with Ye Lingling, and ignored Ning Fengzhi's attempts to restrain her in battle. 27 41 322 336
She began as spoiled, foul-mouthed, and reluctant to endure hardship, but became observant and diligent after using Han Tao as a model. Even when she complained throughout sect training, she completed every assigned objective. 38 48
Her confidence can turn into pride or jealousy, particularly regarding Ye Lingling. However, she is also intensely curious, ambitious about strength, and capable of serious calculation under pressure. 86 131 219 296
Appearance
Rongrong is depicted with bright eyes, clear hair, and a small dimple at one corner of her lips. She is often associated with a cyan dress or light-green silk clothing. 288 319 391
- Her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda emits nine-colored radiance. 43
- She can wear armor while operating within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. 288
- Her Martial Soul can attach to her palm and lift her into the air. 196 336
Abilities & Skills
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda
Her evolved Ultimate Martial Soul is a nine-layered pagoda that provides support, enhancement, control, calculation, and structural-analysis functions. It evolved after her consumption of Immortal Herbs. 43 44
- Can enhance allies with named treasures such as Power, Speed, and Soul. 96 391
- Its force-amplification authority allows Rongrong to manipulate her own body and achieve flight before the normal Titled Douluo threshold. 98 196
- Can apply buffs as a method of probing or mapping a battlefield, though this is inferior to a dedicated perception skill. 96
- Possesses exceptional authority for calculation and discerning essence. 319
Micro-Manipulation and Reverse Frequency
Rongrong researches the microscopic structure of Soul Power and applies extremely precise force control to support, sabotage, and combat. 96 219
- Uses Reverse Frequency: Annihilation to disrupt or erase opposing soul power. 323 337 391
- Can interfere with the continuity of an opponent's power during transitions between old and new force, slowing or destabilizing them. 393
- Uses micro-control to manipulate objects, such as vibrating a Dragon Beard Needle out of Flander's body. 317
- Her control requires advanced understanding of Soul Power's microscopic structure; she struggled to reach the Soul Douluo-level breakthrough. 219
Origin Soul Ring and Structure Simulation
Her third Soul Ring is an Origin Soul Ring, which she combines with her Origin Soul Bone and structural theory. 296
- Can analyze the Soul Power frequency and structure underlying a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 296
- Disrupted the fusion skill of Snake Lance Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo, shattering Snake Lance Douluo's Serpent Spear Martial Soul. 296
- Can simulate the Bamboo Joint Structure of Soul Power through her Nine-Colored Glazed Tile Torso Soul Bone. 288
- Can extend this simulation to Ning Fengzhi, Han Tao, and Ye Lingling, but not ordinary Soul Masters. 288
Martial Soul Fusion Guidance
Rongrong understands the frequency synchronization required for Martial Soul Fusion Skills and can direct stronger combatants in their use. 322 336
- Explained why Chen Xin and Gu Rong repeatedly failed to form a fusion skill: their soul power frequencies were not synchronized. 322
- Led a fusion involving her pagoda, Han Tao's Blue Silver Grass, and Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia to counter Chen Xin's technique. 323
- Directed Chen Xin and Gu Rong's fusion against Bibi Dong's Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. 336
- Uses the Multi-Dimensional Tower for observation, deduction, and control. 356 591
Illusion and Evasion
Rongrong can employ illusion-based techniques in combat. 336
- Evaded attacks from several Spirit Hall Titled Douluo using illusion. 336
- Participates in illusion-based research and recommends using illusions to create backup samples during physical modification. 321
Body Energy Transformation
Rongrong possesses a soul skill called body energy transformation, which can mitigate risks associated with devouring and may be replicable between related Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Souls. 485
Three Changes System
Her body and soul-bone configuration developed into the Three Changes System, incorporating the Nine Treasure Glazed Body, Soul Power Cocoon, and Ice Crystal Prism. 550
- Raised her combat capacity to a level comparable to a Peerless Douluo. 550 557
- Allowed her to oppose Bibi Dong alongside the Blue Silver Emperor. 557
Equipment / Items
- Nine-Colored Glazed Tile Torso Soul Bone — Condensed from nine differently colored gems through the sect's inheritance method; enables microscopic Soul Power structure simulation. 288
- Third Eye Soul Bone — Left by the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord; contains the Overlord's soul but no Soul Skills, creating a danger of soul erosion. 356
- Mind Calming Tea — Used to aid analysis and strategic thinking on the battlefield. 336
- Lovesick Heartbroken Red — Used for protection within the Poisonous Barrier and later given by Han Tao to enable fusion with Blue Silver Grass. 42 546
- Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng — Entrusted to her by Han Tao. 546
- Distraction Control Method — Sixth Layer — A sect secret technique she gave to Ye Lingling despite the prohibition against sharing it. 322
Relationships
- Ning Fengzhi — Her father and the Sect Master. Their relationship is affectionate but contentious; Rongrong frequently ignores his restrictions, while he worries over her safety and supports her growth. 13 44 485
- Chen Xin / Sword Douluo — Protective grandfather-like guardian whom Rongrong calls “Sword Grandpa.” He deeply regrets failing to protect her at Sunset Forest. 27 42
- Gu Rong / Bone Douluo — Protective grandfather-like guardian who tries to cheer her up and later seeks her theoretical guidance. 40 322
- Han Tao — Fellow auxiliary Soul Master, research partner, and strongest teammate she sought. Their early hostility developed into mutual trust, tactical coordination, and deep reliance. 38 96 323 546
- Yang Wudi — Her pharmacology master; he identified her aptitude and warned her about the toxicity of consuming too many Immortal Herbs. 39 42
- Ye Lingling — Teammate and fellow researcher. Rongrong trusts her enough to share the Sixth Layer Distraction Control Method, though she is frequently jealous or competitive toward her. 219 322 323
- Ning Tian — Relative with whom she has a playful, sibling-like relationship; she objects to his “fox-and-dog friends” literature. 114
- Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord — Opponent whose sacrifice granted her a red Soul Ring and Third Eye Soul Bone; it bargained with her to protect its clan. 356
- Bibi Dong — Enemy who targeted Rongrong and her family during Spirit Hall's campaign against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 557
Story Role / Major Arcs
Departure and Shrek Academy
Rongrong leaves the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find teammates on her own, reaches Shrek Academy, and initially tries to avoid direct combat by paying Ma Hongjun to fight in her place. Her time there nevertheless prompts her to become more observant and dedicated. 27 38
Pharmacology and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
After leaving Shrek, she becomes Yang Wudi's disciple and studies pharmacology. Her knowledge enables her to infiltrate the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, claim its herbs, and force the evolution of her Martial Soul. 39 42 43
National Elite Soul Master Competition
Rongrong uses the competition as a testing ground for micro-manipulation theory with Han Tao. She buffs, misdirects, and disrupts enemy teams, later demonstrating self-flight and developing closer tactical coordination with him. 96 98
Soul Power Structure Research
She advances from studying microscopic Soul Power to designing the Nine-Colored Glazed Tile Torso Soul Bone, simulating Soul Power structures, and guiding Martial Soul Fusion Skills. Her work with Ye Lingling produces a 0.3 growth-base breakthrough. 288 289 322 323
Conflict with Spirit Hall
Rongrong uses her Origin Soul Ring to break an enemy fusion skill, helps guide Chen Xin and Gu Rong against Bibi Dong, and later uses the Three Changes System to match a Peerless Douluo-level threat. 296 336 557
Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord and God-Rank Reconstruction
She receives the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord's sacrifice and becomes entangled with its soul erosion and bargain. During the Ancient Netherworld crisis, her Immortal Herb-derived Soul Rings are reconstructed into God-rank rings to protect her past self and resist the Sword of Time. 356 591
Trivia
- Ning Rongrong once believed theory was largely unnecessary for a support Soul Master if they had sufficiently powerful teammates. 27
- She secretly used 200 Gold Soul Coins to have Ma Hongjun substitute for her in a Great Soul Arena match. 38
- She initially mistook her evolved Martial Soul for an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda because she counted only eight visible layers before learning it was the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. 43 44
- She regretted consuming so many Immortal Herbs, believing that delaying Soul Ring acquisition after evolving her Martial Soul could have yielded a growth base exceeding that of a god-level Martial Soul. 131
- Her first Soul Ring's Power characteristic can interfere with the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's own power characteristic through superior micro-control. 393
