Episode 130: You... how did you lift it?
『 In the screen, Sun Rong found Wang Ling, her face blushing, and she softly asked:
"Brother Wang, have you prepared your clothes for the Grand Saint Festival tomorrow?"
"Yes, I have."...
Outside the gates of the Heavenly Palace Grand Saint Amusement Park,
Wang Ling, dressed in festive attire, walked up to Guo Hao and casually asked,
"Where's your park companion? I don't see anyone."
"Hey, the road's completely jammed! Brother Wang, why are you also alone? Did you and Sister Sun have a falling out?"
But as soon as he finished speaking,
The park's announced: "An urgent announcement! Daoist Wang Ling, please pay attention! Daoist Wang Ling, please pay attention! Please proceed to the VIP channel; your family is waiting for you there." 』

[ Mizuki Tsujimura (Bungo Stray Dogs): "This broadcast, why does it make me feel like they're looking for a child?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Little Wang Ling, little Wang Ling, your mommy and daddy are waiting for you over there." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "It sounds perfectly natural, I must say." ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "..." ]
[ Oyama Mihari (Onimai): "Onii-chan, saying that is really impolite." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Oh, oh, sorry, sorry." ]

『 Inside the amusement park,...
Sun Rong led Wang Ling around, asking as they walked, "Brother Wang, do you still remember when we came here last time?"
"I remember. You said this park was specially built for you by your grandfather."
"That's right, Grandpa told me to bring the most important person to me here to play! It's just that last time, to give you some peace and quiet, it wasn't this lively."
Wang Ling smiled, thinking to himself, "It was clearly only last semester, but it feels like several years have passed."
Not long after,
The two arrived at the entrance of a villa. Sun Rong said with a slight blush, "Hey, Brother Wang, let me tell you, my parents are away on a business trip tonight, so how about coming to my place for dinner?"
"Sure."
Wang Ling agreed without a second thought.
"So, are there instant noodles available to eat?"
"Absolutely."
Wang Ling immediately expressed his agreement upon hearing that.
Seeing Wang Ling agree so readily,
Sun Rong jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Yay!"
After Wang Ling agreed, Sun Rong eagerly pushed open the door,
Only to suddenly see her grandfather actually at home.
"Rongrong, you're back?"
Sun Rong was incredibly surprised and blurted out, "Grandpa! Why are you home..."
Then,...
The three sat awkwardly around a long table and began to eat. Grandpa Sun was the first to speak: "Young man, what's your relationship with our Sun Rong?"
Sun Rong quickly explained, "Grandpa, he's my brother from the elite class!"
Upon hearing this,
Grandpa Sun gave Sun Rong a look, then asked the young man again, "Young man, what does your father do for work?"
Wang Ling chewed on his crispy noodles and replied, "He writes web novels at home; his cultivation hasn't reached the graduation level yet."
As soon as these words fell,
Grandpa Sun was a bit annoyed, crushing the king crab in his hand.
Sun Rong quickly said, "The internet is so popular now, being a web novelist must earn a lot of manuscript fees, right?"
Grandpa Sun asked again, "Sun Rong, how's your cultivation this semester?"
"I've already reached the Great Completion of the Foundation Establishment Stage and am preparing to break through to the Golden Core Stage!"
Grandpa Sun nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Wang Ling and asked, "Young man, what about your cultivation?"
"Early Foundation Establishment Stage, Spiritual Power Level Five!"
After hearing this,...
Grandpa Sun's veins bulged, and the red wine glass in his hand was crushed to pieces. He suddenly stood up and roared:
"During my seclusion, the family head almost bankrupted the Sun family, and now you, a guy like you, appear. ARE YOU TRYING TO COMPLETELY DESTROY THE SUN FAMILY?!"
Sun Rong quickly stood up to explain, "Grandpa, actually our Sun family is..."
"Shut up! You're still protecting this spiritual power level five trash, both of you get out!"
At this moment,
The bodyguards quickly intervened, "Master, Master, calm down! Have you forgotten the family rules?"
Sun Rong also said awkwardly, "That's right, you can choose not to listen to me, but you can't go against the ancestors' arrangements!"
Grandpa Sun calmed down and said, "Alright, if you want to enter our Sun family's door, according to our family tradition, you must pass three trials!" 』

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Although he didn't seem to say he wanted to enter the Sun family's, did he?" ]
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "I mean, if anything, I'd be entering the Wang family's..." ]
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Oh no, I said what was on my mind!" ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "..." ]
[ .....]
『 Inside the amusement park,
Grandpa Sun led Wang Ling and Sun Rong, stopping in front of a high striker game machine, and said:
"The first challenge is here!"
Sun Rong asked curiously, "Grandpa, isn't this just a game?"
Grandpa Sun didn't explain further, picked up a wooden mallet and gestured a few times, then immediately performed the "Wind-Swept Hammer Technique," pounding it repeatedly with a "bang, bang, bang," scoring a perfect hit!
"Wow!"
Seeing the numbers on the scoreboard, the surrounding bodyguards exclaimed:
"Master is truly mighty!"
"Still got it, impressive, impressive!"
Grandpa Sun waved his hand, humbly saying, "Not good enough, I could score even higher when I was younger!" Then, he handed the wooden mallet to Wang Ling,
"It's your turn!"
Sun Rong said with concern, "Brother Wang, you must be careful."
Wang Ling replied, "Don't worry, I won't let your grandpa lose too much face."
Immediately after,
Wang Ling picked up the wooden mallet and gently tapped the machine.
This scene made the surroundings,
Bodyguards laughed so hard they doubled over.
But in the next instant,
The ground suddenly shook, and the display ball seemed to turn into a rocket, shooting up violently, directly breaking through the top guardrail and flying out.
"Huh?!"
"Is this machine malfunctioning!?"
Grandpa Sun's eyes nearly popped out after witnessing this scene. 』

[ Genos (One Punch Man): "This brings back memories of when Sensei and I were taking the preliminary test for Hero Association earlier." ]
[ Tatsumaki (One Punch Man): "Speaking of which, it makes me furious. That bald guy with that kind of strength ended up getting a C, and made me look so bad." ]
[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "..." ]

『 After the first competition, Grandpa Sun was a bit unconvinced and led Wang Ling to the archery range.
"Grandpa, do you want to shoot those balloons?"
Grandpa Sun drew his bow,
"Look at the top of that mountain in the back."
It turned out that, several kilometers away on the mountaintop, two bodyguards were holding red lanterns.
"That far?"
"How can you hit it from that far?"
As soon as the words fell,
Grandpa Sun's arrow shot out like a meteor, directly hitting the lantern. He triumphantly threw the bow to Wang Ling,
"Here, try it!"
Wang Ling didn't stand on ceremony, picked up an arrow, and began to aim.
"Young man, if you can't hit it, you'll obediently go plant..."
Before he could finish speaking,
The arrow in Wang Ling's hand whizzed out like a fiery meteor, so fast that the eyes couldn't keep up. In the blink of an eye, it flew past the lantern on the mountaintop and went even further.
Grandpa Sun joked,
"It shot far, but it's ridiculously off target."
"Someone, see this person out."
Just then,
Wang Ling shouted, "Wait, let this arrow fly for a while."
(Let the Bullets Fly: Apply for World Heritage!!!)
The arrow pierced through the atmosphere, circled the Earth exactly once, and then flew back from above Grandpa Sun's head. That astonishing power instantly caused the entire mountaintop to
"BOOM—!"
It's exploded!
Seeing that the previous two challenges were just short of success, Grandpa Sun decided not to proceed with the third as originally planned and instead took Wang Ling and Sun Rong to the armory.
"Grandpa, why did you bring us here?"
Grandpa Sun pulled out a nunchaku and replied, "This is the final test!"
"Grandpa, are you saying...?"
Grandpa Sun confidently chose a set of nunchaku, golden soul jade techniques called "Tiger Roars, Dragon Sings."
"The final stage of our Sun family's trial is me!"
A bodyguard reminded him, "Old Master, for you at your cultivation level to deal with someone who just entered Foundation Establishment, isn't that a bit too much against the ethics of a martial artist?"
Sun Rong also chimed in, "That's right, what if Brother Wang accidentally hurts you?"
Grandpa Sun loudly declared, "Less talk! Rongrong, sixty years ago, your grandma passed three trials right here! She suffered so much to be able to marry me, and back then I swore to create a world where she would never be hurt again!"
"So, I built this Paradise..." 』

[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Huh? So, that's how Grandpa and Grandma were back then?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "I always feel like this old grandpa is lying. The louder he speaks, the less confident he is." ]
[ .....]
『 As soon as his voice fell,
Grandpa Sun's gaze turned to Wang Ling, and he said loudly, "Young man, if you are sincere, then pass my test first!"
Wang Ling and Sun Rong exchanged glances, a little embarrassed, and walked to the weapon storage area, casually glancing around.
Suddenly, Wang Ling noticed a staff behind Grandpa Sun that looked quite comfortable in his hand, so he casually picked it up and said:
"Alright! This will do!"
"Come on!"
However, Grandpa Sun was stunned to see Wang Ling effortlessly lift the legendary Golden Cudgel,
"You... how did you lift it?"
"How is this possible?!"
Wang Ling looked at Sun Rong awkwardly, completely unaware of how astonishing a feat he had just accomplished.
"This... this is our Sun family's ancestral divine staff, weighing thirteen thousand five hundred catties!" Sun Rong said in shock.
"No! Impossible! Only the founding ancestor in the Sun family's history could wield it. For thousands of years, even I, an old man,..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ling quickly and gently placed the Golden Cudgel back in its original spot, fearing even the slightest scratch. Grandpa Sun was completely convinced,
He immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, "This old man was blind just now, failing to recognize the true form of the immortal. Please, immortal, forgive this old man's ignorant sin!" 』

[ Chongyun (Genshin Impact): "He knelt so fast." ]
[ Xiangling (Genshin Impact): "Should this be called, decisively following his heart?" ]
[ Mizuki Tsujimura (Bungo Stray Dogs) "Thirteen thousand five hundred catties, that's already more than a ton, right?" ]
[ Mizuki Tsujimura (Bungo Stray Dogs) "Oh my, this is quite a splendid little thing, if I may be so bold as to say." ]
[ Bai Xiaofei (Wo Jiao Bai Xiaofei): "While the Great Sage Sun's item is powerful, it's just child's play for this person." ]
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "I also didn't expect Brother Wang to just pick up our family's divine staff so casually." ]
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "As expected of Brother Wang, truly amazing." ]
[ .....]
『 In the screen,
The Sun family's magical staff was gone, and all members of the Seven Stars Team rushed to investigate the situation and collect evidence.
Grandpa Sun plopped to his knees, tightly hugging Wang Ling's leg, crying and pleading, "Oh, Great Immortal Wang, this old man was blind before, speaking carelessly and offending you, but I beg you to be magnanimous and return our family's treasured staff!"
Sun Rong quickly helped him up, "Grandpa, don't embarrass yourself here, get up."
At this moment,
Diu Lei walked over, confidently saying, "I may not be talented, but I believe there's another angle to this!"
"Lord Thunder, what do you think?" Grandpa Sun asked.
"In my opinion, Little Daoist Wang has been inseparable from Miss Sun tonight and had no opportunity to commit the crime."
Sun Rong agreed, "That's right, Grandpa, weren't you watching us the whole time?"
Grandpa Sun replied awkwardly, "But, but now in the entire cultivation world of Huaxia, no one can move our Sun family's treasured staff, right?"
Diu Lei spoke, "Even if this young friend is a prodigy in the cultivation world and can move that divine staff, Little Daoist Wang never left Qitian Paradise. A body search just now should have found the divine staff."
"From what I understand, the Sun family's staff can change size at will; when large, it can prop up the heavens and earth, and when thin, it's like a strand of hair!"
"Therefore, there is only one truth! That is!"
"The Sun family's divine staff was affected by an external force and shrank into a thin thread!"
As soon as these words were spoken,
Everyone looked as if they had suddenly understood.
"As expected of Lord Thunder, truly prescient!"
Thunder Lord confidently said, "The divine staff isn't lost, it's right where it was, everyone, look!" With that,
He pulled out a magnifying glass and handed it to Grandpa Sun,
However,
Grandpa Sun looked left and right with the magnifying glass, but couldn't find the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
"Is my old man's eyesight failing? There's nothing here!"
Thunder Lord, unwilling to give up, glanced again and then repeatedly felt with his hand, exclaiming in surprise, "Eh? How can this be! Where did the staff hide?"
Sun Rong anxiously asked, "Brother Wang, what do we do now?"
Wang Ling sighed and pointed to the surveillance camera behind him, saying,
"Everyone, how about we check the surveillance footage?"
As soon as these words fell,
Thunder Lord and Grandpa Sun were instantly stunned. 』

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Hahaha, they have surveillance but don't monitor it, and then a few people just argue endlessly here." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "This is too funny." ]
[ Mizuki Tsujimura (Bungo Stray Dogs) "Oh my, such a terribly heavy staff... is this truly something a person can lift except for Wang Ling?" ]
[ Mizuki Tsujimura (Bungo Stray Dogs) "Of course, we also know that Wang Ling wouldn't take this item, because to him, it's not even worth a pack of crispy noodles." ]
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Although what you said is true, I feel like my family suddenly isn't worth much." ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "..." ]
[ .....]
『 After learning about the surveillance footage,
Wang Ling and the others immediately checked and were surprised to find that the last person to visit the armory was Yoshiko Kyuumiya.
On Sun Island,
To force Yoshiko Kyuumiya, who was holed up at home, to come out, Guo Hao directly brought three large loudspeakers and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"The largest family on the south side of Sun Island, the Kyuumiya family, has run away!"
"The renowned Kyuumiya family on the south side of Sun Island is unethical!"
"The notorious Miss Kyuumiya is cheating and swindling, utterly rotten!"
"That Miss Kyuumiya stole the Sun family's treasure and absconded with the stolen goods."
"... (Wenzhou people express speechlessness.)"
Sun Rong asked with some concern, "Brother Wang, can making such a fuss really force Kyuumiya out?"
As soon as she finished speaking,
Yoshiko Kyuumiya pushed open the door, hands on her hips, and demanded,
"What are you doing, making a racket outside my house! If you don't leave, I'll call the police!"
Sun Rong got angry upon hearing this, "Hey, Yoshiko Kyuumiya, the villain is complaining first! Quickly hand over our family's treasure! The surveillance has recorded everything!"
Yoshiko Kyuumiya, however, replied haughtily, "I didn't take anything from your house, I just went to the basement and looked around, I didn't touch anything!"
Chen Chao said angrily, "You... don't even care about your reputation?"
Guo Hao followed up with a jab, "I've truly never seen anyone so shameless!"
Just as Sun Rong and Yoshiko Kyuumiya were at a standoff,
Jing Ke quickly reminded, "Sister Sun, the energy signature of that divine root is on their back mountain!"
Sun Rong responded, "Alright, if you didn't take it, then let us go check your back mountain."
As soon as these words came out,
Yoshiko Kyuumiya seemed a bit guilty, taking a small step back, then her face darkened as she said forcefully:
"I don't have time to argue with you. This is Sun Island. If you dare trespass on my private property, don't blame me for being impolite to these illegal intruders; kill them all!"
Then she shouted, "See them out!"
Facing the encirclement of the demon-exterminating squad, Guo Hao and the others fought with all their might,
While Wang Ling had already arrived at the back mountain ahead of time, waiting for Yoshiko Kyuumiya's arrival.
"Hand over my friend's item!"
....Evening. 』
