Background / History
Sect upbringing and Shrek enrollment
Ning Rongrong grew up as the treasured daughter of Ning Fengzhi and the future leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong taught and indulged her, treating her like their own granddaughter. Bored with her familiar surroundings, she eventually left for Shrek Academy 4 8 30 31 73.
During Shrek’s entrance assessment, she supported Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing against Chu Feng. His age, level-thirty-nine Soul Power, and transparent Soul Rings overturned her expectations of what a young genius could achieve 1.
Martial Dao training
Although Martial Dao appealed to her as a way for support Soul Masters to fight directly, its demands quickly exhausted her. When she asked to rest, Chu Feng refused and told her she could leave the academy rather than receive special treatment 4 5.
He later connected her training to her responsibilities toward her father and sect. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda’s users could never surpass Soul Saint, and its support specialists depended on others for protection. After being reminded that her elders could not shelter her forever, Rongrong began taking training more seriously 7 8.
Her later lessons combined Eight Trigrams Steps, divided attention, and uninterrupted support casting. She initially lost control of her Soul Power while moving, but persevered through simulated enemy interference. She became the first student to finish the initial training in her manual, though the others’ plans were more difficult 30 37.
Forest expedition and team battles
After the Titan Giant Ape carried Xiao Wu away, Rongrong sought help from her sect and sent an urgent letter to her father. Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong subsequently visited Shrek, originally intending to help rescue the missing students 13 21 30.
During the expedition, she hesitated to kill the Starlight Spirit Deer because of its beauty. Chu Feng’s Contract Soul Ring method offered another solution: she could gain a Soul Ring while making the deer her companion. After succeeding, she promised to keep the method secret—even from her father 22 23 24.
Rongrong later partnered with Zhu Zhuqing against Dai Mubai and Oscar in an academy match. Their performance earned them priority for Number Zero Battle Armor. She continued pairing with Zhu Zhuqing in the Great Soul Arena, where their team swiftly defeated its opponents 37 38 39 40 49 50.
Protecting the sect’s future
Having inferred the direction of Chu Feng’s organization, Rongrong proposed cooperation to ensure her sect’s survival. Chu Feng explained that Ning Fengzhi would have to negotiate personally and promised not to harm the sect if it did not obstruct the organization 50.
She later suggested marriage to Chu Feng as a way to connect both sides. He rejected marriage as a political shortcut and postponed accepting her feelings until he could be certain the sect would not oppose the organization. Any immediate cooperation would instead involve Shrek Academy or Chu Feng personally 72 73.
In Heaven Dou City, she used her sect token and her father’s name to confront a noble who had harassed her. She demanded compensation for a fruit seller’s damaged goods and assured her friends that anyone seeking trouble would have to answer to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect 74 75.
Appearance
- Face and hair: Fair, delicate features and long hair 5 39.
- Training clothing: Wears a close-fitting training outfit during her wooden-stake exercises 37.
- External Soul Bone: Manifests at her forehead; it first appears as a transparent skull before sinking between her brows 24 39.
Personality
Rongrong initially carries the pride and entitlement of a thoroughly sheltered sect heiress. She invokes her father and the two Douluos when protesting Chu Feng’s treatment, boasts about her sect’s wealth and strength, and dislikes being denied special consideration 5 7 22.
Her mischievousness remains even as she becomes more disciplined. After finishing her training, she mocks the boys’ martial arts, then takes refuge with Zhu Zhuqing when Dai Mubai approaches her. She also enjoys gossip and deliberately goads Ma Hongjun into testing her new defensive skill 37 42 88.
Her loyalty extends beyond playful affection. She seeks powerful help for Xiao Wu, worries about Chu Feng’s unexplained absence, and recognizes the danger of a future conflict between her sect and the organization. Her proposal for cooperation is explicitly motivated by the sect’s survival 21 50 58 73.
Abilities & Skills
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda
Her hereditary support Martial Soul evolves after she absorbs the Aromatic Silk Beauty. The evolved pagoda provides stronger enhancements even before she obtains her fourth Soul Ring 66 77.
| Enhancement | Documented effects |
|---|---|
| Strength — First Soul Skill | Increases a recipient’s strength; used during her mobile-casting exercises 30. |
| Speed | Applied alongside strength and Soul Power enhancements in individual and team battles 38 58. |
| Soul Power — Third Soul Skill | Its first demonstrated use doubles the Soul Power Zhu Zhuqing feels within her body, helping her reverse a disadvantage against the Shadow Night Lynx 26. |
| Defense — Fourth Soul Skill | Covers the recipient in a pale-yellow film, strengthens defense, stacks with other defensive skills, and reflects damage onto the attacker 88. |
- Can distribute different enhancements among teammates simultaneously 30 37.
- Can commit her available Soul Power to maximum amplification for a decisive attack 39 59.
- Remains a priority target whose casting must withstand movement, distraction, and enemy interference 29 30.
- Uses the organization’s technology to disguise the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as its seven-tier predecessor during public combat 77.
Martial Dao and Heart Separation Control
Chu Feng adapts her existing Heart Separation Control into a battlefield technique rather than a stationary exercise 30.
- Eight Trigrams Steps: Allows her to reposition while supporting allies 30 37.
- Divided attention: Coordinates movement, Martial Soul use, and separate enhancements 30.
- Mind-focusing breathing: Calms confused thoughts and helps restore orderly Soul Power control 30.
- Initial limitation: Attempting movement and casting together initially scatters her Soul Power and nearly makes her collide with a stake 30.
Contract Soul Beasts
Contract Soul Beasts give Rongrong companions capable of acting in battle, addressing a major weakness of an Auxiliary System Soul Master 23 39.
| Companion | Age at contract | Documented uses |
|---|---|---|
| Starlight Spirit Deer / Little Deer | Over five thousand years | Produces a multicolored shield used against Dai Mubai’s Thunderclap White Tiger; can shrink into a small-beast form and communicate with Rongrong through their bond 22 39 40 82. |
| Swamp Thorn Alligator Snapping Turtle | Thirty thousand years | Supplies her fourth Contract Soul Ring and its damage-reflecting defensive skill 88. |
- Practicing the Meditation Method raises her contract capacity; thirty thousand years is her stated limit when seeking her fourth ring 86.
- She asks Little Deer’s permission before seeking another companion, prompting the other students to consult their own beasts 82.
- Multiple contracts place demands on spiritual power; broken connections can remove the beasts’ attribute bonuses 82.
Equipment / Items
- Forehead External Soul Bone — Obtained with the Starlight Spirit Deer’s Contract Soul Ring. She manifests it when pushing her support for Zhu Zhuqing further 24 39.
- Battle Armor — Initially unable to wear standard One-Word Battle Armor because it requires Soul King strength. She later wears Battle Armor with the other Shrek Seven Devils during the masked Soul Sage’s attack 38 83.
- Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect token — Establishes her identity and authority during the confrontation with the Heaven Dou noble 74.
Relationships
- Chu Feng — Martial Dao instructor, benefactor, and romantic interest. He teaches her battlefield support, helps arrange her contracts, and supplies the herb that evolves her Martial Soul. Her proposed marriage does not become an established relationship 30 66 73 88.
- Ning Fengzhi — Father and sect master. He monitors her life at Shrek, approves of her growth, and chooses not to interrupt her developing training habits 22 30.
- Chen Xin / Grandpa Sword — Childhood teacher and protective grandfather figure; initially objects to her strenuous training 4 29 31.
- Gu Rong / Grandpa Bone — Childhood teacher and protective grandfather figure who is distressed by the hardships she faces at Shrek 4 29 31.
- Zhu Zhuqing — Close friend and regular two-on-two partner. Rongrong supports her contract battle and later competes alongside her at Shrek and the Great Soul Arena 8 26 37 49 50.
- Xiao Wu — Close friend. Rongrong seeks help after her disappearance and warmly embraces her upon her return 8 21 36.
- Tang San — Teammate who helps restrain both of her documented Contract Soul Beasts 22 88.
- Ma Hongjun — Frequent target of her teasing; tests her reflective defense and receives a promise that she will introduce him to senior sisters from her sect 37 88.
