The tenth episode of The Daily Life of the Immortal King, titled “On the Roof of an Abandoned School Building,” landed Wang Ling and He Bufang hog-tied with Immortal Binding Rope on the roof of an abandoned school building. Shadow Leader believed He Bufang must have some talent as he saw through her student-like disguise. ..
As she stomps on an unruffled Wang Ling we’re reminded that he’s a powder keg soon to explode. Luckily the booting awakens Spiritual Sword. While believing she’s kicking a Force Value 5, Shadow Leader sees him as a convenient way to draw out Sun Rong.
Wang Ling is assisted by the jabbing of his talisman, breaking it and now he must control his emotions on his own, without the seal’s support. As his power notches up, Spiritual Sword proves he is more than a pretty slice of wood. He shouts that ramen is on sale and instantly pulls Wang Ling back to himself even with a shoe in his face.
In a meeting room, Schools 59 and 60 are still insulting each other. He Bufang, with a noticeably full head of hair, enters to exclaim that Wang Ling has been kidnapped. We see the real scalped one is still on the roof.
Sun Rong, the jailor, is a formidable opponent. He’s been in the position for many years and is well-versed in prison politics. The Driver, a new recruit on Sun Rong’s team, underestimates him and makes a tactical error. ..
Inside the fake He Bufang, a story of Wang Ling’s abduction is being shared. Zhou Yi figures it must be Shadow Faction and Isabelle scans for sources of power, identifying the hideout. ..
Sun Rong’s security team quickly bundles her away from harm but she escapes, ready to go after Wang Ling. Fully aware that she’s the target, she’s ready to rescue her ‘most precious friend.’ As a completely in charge Sun Rong leads her guard out, 59 decides to use this opportunity to observe their opponents’ combat technique.
Wang Ling is confident that he has a higher force value than five, as he repaired Chen Chao’s arm instantly. But when He Bufang asks him about it, Wang Ling seems to be relaxed and unconcerned, knowing that he won’t need to compete. They’ll have to cancel the match.
As He Bufang calls for help, the Driver clocks him down into the room below. Sun Rong and team charge ahead while 59 follows, noting that (the fake) He Bufang seems a bit odd.
As the Driver demonstrates his true power, the guards and team 60 launch onto the grounds. Meanwhile, Wang Ling’s Dad is still trying to enter the campus. He watches sparks fly through the air, likely presuming it’s caused by Wang Ling.
Sun Rong is about to be defeated, Wang Ling turns back time, letting He Bufang get stomped, then faces off with the Driver. He’s hoisted up as Sun Rong arrives on scene with Zhou Yi already in place to take the credit. ..
Wang Ling asserts that the hole in the roof was there before he arrived. Spiritual Sword pops up through the hole to check the plan but Wang Ling sends him back below to keep watch over He Bufang.
With only 59 players remaining in the tournament, it seems likely that the team will forfeit. But Tang Jingze has already secured the fake He Bufang to make sure their team is prepared. Dang. ..
Wang Ling looks around at the other contestants and wonders how He Bufang got away. He knows he has to compete if he wants to win, so he prepares to fight. On the other side, Isabella collects data on Team 60 to share with Tang Jingze. ..
As the team disappears into the fighting area, Wang Ling’s Dad races toward his son but misses him. Sun Rong is able to take cover and wait for Wang Ling’s Dad to return. When he does, Sun Rong fires a shot at him, but it misses.
Zhou Yi takes the opportunity to glad-hand his Master’s father, who explains on the QT why he’s there. As leader of the Immortals, he instantly grasps the situation.
The Episode Review
It seems Zhou Yi has an idea about the false He Bufang. But then again, he let the Games go ahead, so maybe not. We’re still assessing as it seems it could go either way.
With Wang Ling ready to blow, what will happen if he spots Shadow Leader attack Sun Rong? And without Spiritual Sword or his talisman, how will Wang Ling keep it together? Did you notice that moment when Wang Ling’s eyes turned green? See the image above for reference.
Fans of the “Wang Ling” series believe that the recent changes to the show’s plotline indicate that the actress has lost control and is reversing time. ..
Wang Ling is said to have a history of outbursts that can be triggered by a variety of things, including blanking out or forgetting. In the past, there have been moments where he has been pushed to the edge and it’s not clear if he remembers what happened or not. We’ll continue to follow this story as it develops.
The rivalry between 60 and 59 is so high that neither of them are able to walk away, no matter the crisis. It seems like the students are really competitive, however. Looks like we’ll find out next episode just how much.
