As we approach the final showdown in School 60, Sun Rong shares a new plan with us. She has set a spell to watch over Wang Ling as she sets her spell to watch over the Alter of Fire. This will give us the perfect opportunity to take out the Alter of Fire before it can do any damage to our allies.
Isabelle realises that several alters are in danger as School 60 suddenly leads to 4-1. What? Wang Ling quietly separates from Froggy (who takes a human form), then snags the undefended Alter of Wood.
Isabelle is horrified when Froggy smacks her with his tail. He had turned her own detection talent against her, revealing that he is not actually human. ..
As Guo Hua and Sun Rong race to catch up to Chen Chao and Wang Ling, they are still behind School 59 by 11 percent as they near the finish.
Wang Ling’s Dad wonders how Wang Ling is really doing as he pushes things like competitiveness, belonging, friendship and the like to the back of his mind. Wang Ling meets Sun Rong and then the guys and starts to feel emotions for the first time. ..
Guo Hua reaches the Alter of Metal to discover a beat up, tied up Chen Chao. Elsewhere, Froggy clues in that Wang Ling is reaching his talisman-free limit and scrambles off.
Wang Ling, still thinking, prepares to sink his sword but is suddenly overcome with emotion, recalling everything that’s happened since he started at School 60. Even his Sword Spirit, still at a distance in the school building, notices the fluctuation. ..
As the countdown begins, he continues to ponder, sending his heart into a flurry. Just as he hesitates, about to let go of the sword and lose the Alter, Sun Rong shows up and steadies him. Now 60 has five alters to zero. But what’s more important, Wang Ling realises that Sun Rong can calm his heart.
Meanwhile, back at the Alter of Metal, Guo Hua is seriously worried for Chen Chao’s state. There’s an uproar among the teachers – what about the level of protection put in place for the competitors? How is this possible?
As Sun Rong teases Wang Ling about his smile, Shadow Faction Leader (formerly known as fake He Bufang) finally assaults Sun Rong, forcing her spirit out of her body. And Wang Ling just loses it. His Dad and Zhou Yi run to help.
Wang Ling and Shadow Leader are fighting in a heated battle. Wang Ling is trying to freeze time, but Shadow Leader is using his powers to break free and attack her. They are fighting fiercely, but eventually Wang Ling is able to freeze time and the two combatants fall to the ground.
Wang Ling regained consciousness and realized that he couldn’t save Sun Rong. Her soul had been torn away, so she’s alive but only in this frozen state. Froggy offered some potential solutions, but none were great options. Wang Ling chose to start the world over for the fifth time. ..
The Episode Review
Wang Ling’s talisman has always been a mystery to us. But now we know why he had it all along. It was to protect himself from the disaster he could inflict without it. And now we have sympathy for him, because he’s been oppressed all his life.
The penultimate episode could potentially mean a world do-over. ..
In China, the number five is considered both lucky and unlucky. Depending on the context, it can represent curiosity and adventure. It is also associated with the five elements – earth, water, fire, wood, and metal. So could a ‘fifth’ start be the charm or a complete explosion? ..
Wang Ling has come a long way in this competition. He’s made some friends and has a girl he likes who likes him back. Getting to compete and feel his feelings is something valuable. If there were another way to save Sun Rong, Wang Ling would probably choose it over saving her. However, as an Immortal King, he must consider all possibilities and not just Sun Rong’s well-being. ..
In the next and final instalment of The Daily of the Immortal King, we follow the story of a young man named Kaede who is thrust into a world where he never imagined he would find himself.
