In Episode 5, the tension between Wang Ling and the mysterious cultivators reaches a boiling point. After the attack during the school trip, Wang Ling realizes that the cultivators have become a serious threat and that they won’t stop until they uncover the truth behind his immense power. Determined to protect his friends and keep his life as normal as possible, Wang Ling prepares for a direct confrontation.

The episode begins with Wang Ling quietly investigating the identity of the cultivators while keeping his friends out of harm’s way. He uncovers clues that lead him to believe that the leader of the group is a formidable foe, much stronger than the ones he’s faced so far. As he digs deeper, Wang Ling’s calm exterior starts to crack, showing a glimpse of his growing frustration at always being pulled into battles he never wanted to fight.

Meanwhile, Sun Rong and the rest of his classmates remain blissfully unaware of the looming danger, leading to comedic moments where they attempt to engage Wang Ling in normal high school activities, unaware of the conflict simmering just below the surface. Sun Rong, in particular, tries to grow closer to Wang Ling, much to his quiet exasperation, which adds lighthearted relief to the episode.

As the episode progresses, Wang Ling finally comes face-to-face with the leader of the cultivators. The two engage in a high-stakes battle of wits and magic, with Wang Ling doing his best to hold back his overwhelming powers. The leader, however, proves to be a clever and dangerous opponent, pushing Wang Ling to his limits. Just as it seems like Wang Ling might have to unleash his full strength, the episode ends on a cliffhanger, with an unexpected twist leaving viewers eager for the next episode.
