The Daily Life of the Immortal King S01E05

In this episode, a new character is introduced—Guo Hao, a competitive and energetic student who instantly views Wang Ling as his rival. Unlike most of the students, who are either indifferent or confused by Wang Ling’s low-key demeanor, Guo Hao is determined to prove himself as the strongest in the school. He’s unaware of Wang Ling’s true power but is convinced that defeating him will earn him respect.

The episode primarily revolves around the students participating in a school-wide competition designed to test their magical abilities. This event allows the students to showcase their skills in front of their peers and teachers. Sun Rong and Guo Hao are eager to perform well, while Wang Ling, as usual, just wants to avoid attention.

During the competition, Guo Hao challenges Wang Ling to a duel, expecting a hard-fought battle. However, Wang Ling, trying to maintain his facade of being average, awkwardly deflects most of Guo Hao’s attacks with little effort, confusing both Guo Hao and the spectators. Despite Wang Ling’s attempts to downplay his strength, he unintentionally demonstrates his immense power in subtle ways, such as accidentally nullifying high-level spells.

Meanwhile, Sun Rong continues to admire Wang Ling’s calm composure and mysterious nature. She also performs well in the competition, further establishing herself as one of the most talented students, though her thoughts are often distracted by Wang Ling’s peculiar behavior.

The episode ends with Guo Hao’s admiration for Wang Ling growing, though he still doesn’t fully understand the extent of Wang Ling’s power. He vows to train harder to surpass him, adding a comedic rivalry dynamic to the series. At the same time, Wang Ling’s quiet existence is once again threatened by the very thing he wants to avoid—standing out among his peers.

This episode blends humor and action, focusing on Wang Ling’s efforts to remain unnoticed while balancing the antics of an overly enthusiastic rival, adding a lighter touch to the series.
