Episode 122: Wang Ling's distinguished face, eternally united in heart
『 Then, he witnessed Wang Ling closing the microwave oven, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart. He secretly pondered:
"Could it be... Ah! Good brother, you secretly put your Foundation Establishment Pill into my alchemy furnace."
"But what about Wang Ling's Foundation Establishment Pill..."
Pan Shengcong pulled open the microwave oven door and said with a grim expression, "Classmate Wang Ling, today's class is about refining medicinal pills, not explosives!"
Hearing this, Guo Hao was once again touched and thought to himself:
"So that's it, Wang Ling actually put Chen Chao's failed pill into his microwave oven. Wang Ling, YOU ARE MY LIFELONG SWORN BROTHER!!!"
In reality, Guo Hao was overthinking.
When Wang Ling cleaned the alchemy furnace, he didn't pour out the original Foundation Establishment Pill. Later, when Guo Hao refined the antidote, the Foundation Establishment Pill was refined together with the antidote pill.
As for Wang Ling, he didn't do anything.
Wang Ling's failed "explosive" was purely a result of the microwave oven overheating. 』

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "The logic of this guy named Guo Hao is truly astonishing." ]
[ Bai Xiaofei (Wo Jiao Bai Xiaofei): "Perhaps, we need to redefine the meaning of 'sworn brother'." ]
[ Zhuge Qing (The Outcast): "Full-blown 'dihua' event?" ]
[ Demiurge (Overlord): "Dihua?" ]
[ Zhuge Qing (The Outcast): "Ahem, nothing, nothing." ]

『 As time passed, the scene in the picture also came to after school.
Chen Chao suddenly opened his eyes.
Guo Hao put on a serious expression and said, "Just after school, we saw you were exhausted and collapsed on the track, so we helped you over."
Chen Chao rubbed his throbbing forehead, feeling a little anxious: "Right, where's my copper furnace?"
Guo Hao replied, "Don't worry, we're already figuring out how to fix that alchemy furnace for you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chao's eyes immediately reddened, and he said excitedly, "Wang Ling, Guo Hao, you two are truly my lifelong sworn brothers!"
At this moment, Froggy 2's soul shadow was reflected in the afterglow of the sunset, smiling "peacefully"! 』

[ Hu Tao (Genshin Impact): "Haha, this Froggy 2 was a respectable person in his lifetime." ]
[ Froggy 2 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Although I'm not human, you guys are really dogs! Especially you, WANG LING!!!" ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Five-twenty-five bags of special dog food." ]
[ Froggy 2 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "It's truly an honor to be your dog." ]
[ Demon Master (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "..." ]

『 On the screen, as time passed, they continued to live a peaceful life.
But then, one day, Sun Rong suddenly approached Wang Ling, wanting to go on a date with him.
Just as this scene was in a stalemate, on a certain rooftop invisible to them, a killer from the Shadow Stream held a sniper rifle aimed at Sun Rong.
But just as he was about to pull the trigger to end Sun Rong's life, Wang Ling merely gave a gentle glance, and the terrifying aura made the sniper break out in a cold sweat, almost forgetting how to hold his gun. 』

[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Brother Wang Ling, you saved me again..." ]
[ Yusuke Godai (Kamen Rider): "Just a glance, and the other party was too scared to move?" ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "How pitiful, actually trying to assassinate someone protected by Wang Ling. Isn't that seeking death?" ]
[ Assassin #1 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "I don't know what to say." ]
[ Miyuki Shirogane (Love Is War): "Is this the troubles of a rich young lady from a wealthy family?" ]
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "Probably not, I've never encountered it." ]
[ Hayasaka Ai (Love Is War): "...." ]
[ .....]
『 The next day, after Sun Rong gave Wang Ling's mother a box of top-grade immortal pills for maintenance, Wang Ling's parents immediately "sold him out" without a word.
"Son, go play nicely with that little girl. It's fine if you come home a bit late tonight."
"We'll start dinner without you."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Ling was pushed out the door by his parents. 』

[ Bai Xiaofei (Wo Jiao Bai Xiaofei): "Confirmed with a glance, they're biological parents!" ]
[ Wang Ye (The Outcast): "Huh? I'm perfectly comfortable at home, and I have everything I need." ]
[ Chulan Zhang (The Outcast):"? Aren't you a Daoist priest?" ]
[ Wang Ye (The Outcast): "I am a Daoist priest, but I didn't say anything about my parents, did I?" ]
[ Chulan Zhang (The Outcast): "....." ]
[ Yuigahama Yui (Oregairu): "Are parents like that? My parents wouldn't treat me like that." ]
[ Kousaka Kyousuke (Oreimo): "Maybe because you're a daughter." ]
[ Kousaka Kyousuke (Oreimo): "In my house, my sister has a higher status than I do." ]
[ Kousaka Kirino (Oreimo): "Hey, what nonsense are you spouting?" ]

『 Upon arriving at Qitian Amusement Park, Wang Ling curiously asked, "Why isn't there a single soul here?"
Sun Rong explained, "This amusement park was built by my grandfather specifically for me. But I told my grandfather that I would only bring my most beloved person here, so today is actually my first time entering. It's all thanks to you."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ling broke out in a cold sweat, unsure how to respond for a moment.
"Haha, just kidding, I specially cleared the place for you today."
Inside the amusement park, just as Sun Rong was pulling Wang Ling's hand to enter the marvelous cave, a villain named Number 96 struck a cool pose like in an anime and shot a bullet at them with a whoosh.
Seeing the bullet about to hit Sun Rong, Wang Ling gritted his teeth, caught the bullet with his mouth, then spun around and threw the bullet back the way it came.
In an instant, the Number 96 killer was sent flying into the sky.
At this moment, Sun Rong moved and asked, "Brother Wang, did you just smile at me?"
Wang Ling, without a word, immediately used 50% of his Forgetfulness Technique, wiping away Sun Rong's and the surrounding staff's memories.
And regarding this, the Number 96 killer complained, "What kind of weapon is this? The recoil is so strong!" 』

[ Genos (One Punch Man): "That series of actions just now, it looked like Sensei." ]
[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "Did it?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "That was so fast, how did he bite it?" ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "First like this, then like that, and then it's done." ]
[ Stelle (Honkai: Star Rail): "Great, I've learned it." ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "...." ]

『 While flying with swords, Wang Ling spotted two killers catching up. Without a word, he used a spell to blast them away.
During the claw machine game, seeing the two killers pull out their guns again, Wang Ling decisively cut down a tree and buried them, while also remembering to cast a large-scale Oblivion Charm on Sun Rong.
And after several failed assassination attempts, Killer Number 99 was panting heavily, complaining, "This gun is really hard to use. One shot and you have to somersault. Who can stand this torture!"
Before long, it was evening.
Sun Rong suggested, "Brother Wang, how about we ride the Ferris wheel together?"
"Good idea!" Wang Ling thought to himself, riding the Ferris wheel would probably give them some peace, and they wouldn't be disturbed by those two killers again.
But unexpectedly, as soon as they got on, Numbers 96 and 99 immediately got on the next ride.
Not long after, when Wang Ling and Sun Rong's position reached the top of the Ferris wheel, the broadcast suddenly sounded.
"On this beautiful day of vibrant spring and harmonious heaven and earth, our esteemed Miss Sun Rong and Mr. Wang Ling are deeply in love and sharing a wonderful night."
Upon hearing this, Sun Rong blushed and explained, "They're just talking nonsense, it's so annoying."
The broadcast then continued, "What are you waiting for? Let's have some fireworks to celebrate!"
"BOOM—!"
"BANG—!"
"BOOM—!"
Splendid fireworks bloomed across the sky; even Wang Ling was captivated by the beautiful scene.
Suddenly, Numbers 96 and 99 appeared, pointing their guns at Wang Ling and Sun Rong.
"Sigh, after a busy night, we're finally almost done!"
Sun Rong frowned and asked, "Uncles, are you from the Shadow Stream?"
"As expected of Miss Sun, your insight is unique!"
Sun Rong stood up and blocked in front of Wang Ling, saying, "If you want to kill, come at me. Let my Brother go."
"Heh heh, so he's your Brother, I thought he was your boyfriend. Don't worry, besides the target, we won't lay a hand on anyone else."
Hearing this, Sun Rong pondered:
"If I hesitate now, Brother Wang will be in danger, so... Brother Wang, don't do anything foolish now. You escape quickly, go quickly!"
However, Wang Ling's eyes turned red as he stood up, and his powerful pressure made 96 and 99 unable to speak clearly.
"What do you want to do..."
At this moment, Wang Ling directly used "Universal Pull" to throw the two into the sky.
Then, he cast a spell to summon a fire phoenix from beyond the nine heavens, which instantly crashed into the two killers, illuminating the entire night sky with flames.
Knowing that his strength had been exposed, Wang Ling didn't want to use the Great Oblivion Spell again, so he extended his pinky finger and softly said:
"This is our secret, pinky promise!"
Sun Rong blushed slightly and linked pinkies with him.
This was Wang Ling's first time using the 100% Secrecy Charm, which would make Sun Rong deeply engrave the events of this night as a secret in her heart, rather than completely forgetting them.
Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and spring hearts stirred this night.
May this new couple be of one heart and grow old together! 』

[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Brother Wang is protecting me like this—could it be that he has a crush on me?~" ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Ahem..." ]
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "From my perspective as a love expert, that's definitely the case." ]
[ Aisaka Taiga (Toradora): "That's so nice." ]

『 The scene shifts.
After the previous assassination attempt failed, Xu Feng, Xu Ying, and Xu Jian, the three brothers, received a mission and stealthily infiltrated the Cultivation Academy, planning to quietly eliminate Sun Rong.
However, Xu Feng, the top assassin, had just dealt with a few ordinary security guards when he was spotted by Froggy 2.
Not long after, all his Golden Core stage spiritual energy was completely absorbed by Froggy 2, and a large portion of his lifespan was also drained.
As for the second brother, Xu Ying, he tried to slip away after a fight with Wang Zukang.
"Hahahaha!"
"You guys have fun! I've finished my job of drawing attention, just waiting for Big Brother..."
As a result, he hadn't run two steps when Wang Ling, with an opening door motion, directly knocked him to the ground, leaving him dizzy.
"Excuse me, I'm in a hurry. My crispy noodle express delivery has arrived."
Following that, Instructor Wang immediately apprehended Xu Ying without a word.
At this moment, the eldest brother Xu Jian, in absolute stealth, cursed inwardly: "Damn it, the second and third brothers have both messed up, only I'm left! But it's okay, my ultimate move is almost charged. Plus, my invisibility spell, no one in this academy can find me!"
The next moment, Wang Ling pushed the door open, walked behind him, and said,
"So you were hiding here."
Xu Jian saw that Wang Ling was just there to pick up a package, and the stone in his heart fell.
"Phew, looks like I was overthinking."
"This guy must have been talking about the package just now."
Unexpectedly, Wang Ling continued, "No, I was talking about you! I'm sorry to inform you that the assassination plan has fallen through."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jian immediately gathered his spiritual power and roared, "To hell with any assassination plan or rules! This guy can see through my perfect invisibility; he must not be left alive!"
Immediately after, Xu Jian swung his massive hammer and smashed it down towards Wang Ling's head.
At that moment, the entire world seemed to change, like Mars colliding with Earth, an egg hitting a rock, the shocking sensation of the Big Bang!
"BANG—!"
With one hammer strike, Xu Jian's divine hammer was directly bent, and his eyes almost popped out in shock.
"How can a junior student have such heaven-defying abilities!"
Then, Xu Jian couldn't withstand the immense recoil and instantly split apart, fainting. 』

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "I can't even imagine how magnificent this assassination plan was." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Of course, that's for the assassins." ]
[ Chulan Zhang (The Outcast): "He stood there calmly, letting others attack him, yet they couldn't land a single scratch. Even the dog he raised proved too much for his opponents to handle." ]
[ Froggy 2 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Hey, hey, hey, this old man is not a real dog." ]
[ Chulan Zhang (The Outcast): "Then are you being kept as a pet?" ]
[ Froggy 2 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "..." ]

『 On the screen, advanced cultivation students from all over the country gathered to demonstrate their Spirit Gathering ability test.
Tang Jingze immediately scored 4379 points, securing first place, more than 300 points higher than Chen Yang, who was in second place.
Just then, Guo Hao's score was 176 points, Chen Chao got 600 points, and Sun Rong instantly pulled her score to 4015, successfully becoming second place.
"Wow!"
"The gap of 760 is too big!"
"Junior Sister Sun Rong, your energy ball is too terrifying!"
At this moment, Guo Hao and Chen Chao said with mischievous smiles, "Wang Ling, it's your turn!"
Wang Ling put on the testing equipment and thought to himself, "Although I didn't prepare beforehand, just releasing a little spiritual power should be enough to fool them."
Then, he stretched out his hand and effortlessly released a tiny bit of spiritual power.
But unexpectedly, the next moment, Sun Rong, Chen Chao, and the others screamed in shock at the small amount of spiritual power in Wang Ling's hand, their eyes wide, looking like the "Surprised Classmate" meme!
"If I had known, I would have just infused spiritual energy directly. Luckily, the overflowing spiritual power damaged the instrument, covering it up."
"However, I need to quickly move this spiritual energy ball somewhere else."
Not long after, Wang Ling's test result showed "NULL," but his personal score miraculously climbed to first place on the top ten list.
Guo Hao asked in confusion, "Brother Wang Ling, where did your spiritual energy ball go?"
And following the movement of the screen, it arrived in outer space.
Here, a spiritual energy ball about the size of Earth was traveling through the Milky Way galaxy... 』

[ Oyama Mihari (Onimai):: "NULL means it's a reserved value in computation, not a valid object. Simply put, it's out of data range." ]
[ Boros (One Punch Man): "This, an energy ball as big as a planet?" ]
[ Beerus (Dragon Ball): "This guy has some strength." ]
[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "Wow, that's amazing." ]
[ Sawamura Eriri (Saekano): "So, the humans in that world were almost destroyed." ]
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "As expected of Brother Wang, SO AMAZING!!" ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "That's just a little bit." ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "I see, that's a tiny bit." ]

『 On the screen...
Wang Ling asked Guo Hao to hack into the ranking system of the Cultivation Core Academy's Hundred Schools Alliance and change his score to 175.
At midnight, Guo Hao's fingers flew across the keyboard.
As soon as he successfully infiltrated, Guo Hao saw Tang Jingze, who was ranked second, and felt a surge of displeasure, so he casually changed his name to Tang Erdan.
But when it came to modifying Wang Ling's data, his hand accidentally slipped, triggering an alarm, so he had to retreat quickly.
"Oh my god, that was close, almost got caught!"
Wang Ling asked, "It's fine if the score wasn't changed, but did you leave any traces?"
"Got it, relax, who am I, how could I make a mistake!"
At the same time, Tang Jingze stared wide-eyed at his changed name, gritting his teeth and saying, "Next time at the Spirit Sword Competition, we'll see, I'll settle all the old and new scores!!!"
Immediately after, on the screen, Wang Ling, Sun Rong, Chen Chao, Guo Hao, and Froggy 2 were representing their school, preparing to compete in the Spirit Sword Conference against the team led by Tang Erdan from the 59th Gate.
However, before that, everyone needed to have their own spirit sword. 』
