Background / History

Star Dou Great Forest

Ning Rongrong accompanies Chen Xin into the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain her second Soul Ring. Their trip also includes considerable time playing together. When Chen Xin returns carrying his newly accepted disciple, Lin Xing, she initially resents the newcomer occupying his arms. After their introduction, she questions Lin Xing about his strength and Martial Soul 6 7.

She immediately takes to Furina, Lin Xing’s conscious Martial Soul, hugging her upon their first meeting. During Lin Xing’s subsequent training, Rongrong watches his sparring with Chen Xin with excitement, marveling that someone has managed to hurt “Grandpa Sword” 8 9.

Chen Xin selects a Scaled Beast over six hundred years old for her second ring. Lin Xing defeats it and keeps it alive with healing until Rongrong can deliver the final blow using a dagger supplied by Chen Xin. She absorbs the ring successfully, reaches level twenty-one, and persuades Chen Xin to delay their return so she can spend longer with Furina 14 15 16.

Return to the Sect

On the journey home, Rongrong correctly guesses that Chen Xin intends to have Lin Xing spar with Gu Rong so he can enjoy his rival’s embarrassment. She bargains to keep his plan secret in exchange for permission to take Furina out to play. Back at the sect, she seeks Furina out and, after learning about her fondness for little cakes, leads her away to get some 20 24.

Receiving a Domain

Before leaving the sect to gain experience, Lin Xing gives Rongrong a means of self-protection by engraving Clear Abyss of the Azure Stream onto her Martial Soul. She first asks him either to leave Furina behind or take her along, but both requests are refused. After the engraving, Chen Xin takes responsibility for familiarizing her with the domain 28.

Appearance

• A young girl with an exquisitely delicate face 7.
• Wears an extremely lavish, pale blue princess dress when introduced to Lin Xing 7.

Personality

Rongrong is affectionate, energetic, and accustomed to being indulged. She readily asks Chen Xin to extend their playtime and becomes disappointed when his attention goes elsewhere. Nevertheless, she obeys his serious instructions during combat and refrains from interrupting his Sword Intent demonstration even when upset at being ignored 6 8 10 13.

She is observant and adept at bargaining: she sees through Chen Xin’s scheme involving Gu Rong and uses that knowledge to secure more time with Furina. Her manner toward Lin Xing can be haughty, but she becomes noticeably sweeter when requesting a favor, addressing him as “Brother Lin” before asking to remain with Furina 20 24 28.

Abilities & Skills

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda

Rongrong’s Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and her education has focused on support rather than direct combat 15 28.

• Support specialization: Before receiving the domain, she lacks practical combat experience and normally has no means of protecting herself through her support-type Martial Soul 27 28.
• Cultivation ceiling: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda limits its wielders to rank seventy-nine 5.
• Second Soul Ring: Obtained from the heavily armored Scaled Beast; its actual Soul Skill effect is not confirmed 14 15 16.

Clear Abyss of the Azure Stream

Lin Xing uses the Court of Surging Conviction to engrave the complete, full-power Clear Abyss of the Azure Stream directly onto Rongrong’s tool Martial Soul 28.

• Self-defense: The engraving gives her access to an additional skill intended to protect her when danger arises 28.
• Demonstrated domain function: Before its transfer, Lin Xing uses the domain to pin the Scaled Beast down with swords of flowing water. Rongrong’s own use is not demonstrated in the supplied chapters 15 28.
• Visible change: Faint blue currents surround her pagoda, almost concealed beneath its existing radiance. Unlike Gu Rong’s modified Soul Ring, her ring does not change color 28.
• Control requirement: Careless use could exhaust both her Soul Power and mental power at once. Lin Xing therefore recommends instruction from Chen Xin or Gu Rong 28.

Relationships

• Ning Fengzhi — Her father and the sect master. She accepts his refusal to let her accompany Lin Xing, and he agrees that she needs training to control her new domain 7 28.
• Chen Xin — Her “Grandpa Sword,” an affectionate grandfather figure who has watched her grow up. He accompanies her ring hunt, indulges her requests, and later begins helping her master the engraved domain 6 10 28.
• Gu Rong — Her “Grandpa Bone,” another doting grandfather figure. He offers to give up his own domain inscription if necessary so that Rongrong or Ning Fengzhi can receive its protection instead 14 20 27.
• Furina — Her beloved “Big Sister Furina.” Rongrong eagerly seeks her company, takes her for little cakes, and tries to avoid being separated from her when Lin Xing leaves 8 24 28.
• Lin Xing — Chen Xin’s disciple and the person who helps obtain her second ring and grants her a defensive domain. She usually treats him less warmly than Furina, but calls him “Brother Lin” when seeking a favor 15 24 28.

Trivia

• Lin Xing notices that her second-ring choice differs from his recollection of the original story, where that ring enhanced speed. He questions why a cumbersome, heavily defended Scaled Beast was chosen, but no explanation or confirmed skill effect follows 16.
• Rongrong initially expects the domain engraving to make her Soul Ring multicolored like Gu Rong’s. She is disappointed when it stays yellow, prompting Lin Xing to explain that her domain was engraved onto the pagoda instead 28.
