Episode 16 recap: Zhang Zhiwei drugged Zhang Ling Yu, causing him to lose the match.

Zhang Chulan's entry into the finals displeased the alien participants, and they shouted "Zhang Chulan has no shame" from the spectator seats, their voices echoing in the sky. This put immense pressure on Rong Shan, who specifically organized disciples from the Heavenly Masters' Mansion to support Zhang Ling Yu. He also reminded Zhang Ling Yu that most people outside the Heavenly Masters' Mansion were just onlookers, and if Zhang Chulan became the 100th generation Heavenly Master, he would be ridiculed to death. Zhang Ling Yu promised to do his best and entered the arena.

At this moment, Zhang Chulan was already seated in the arena, seemingly unaffected by the surrounding mockery. After his enlightenment the previous night, he was determined to win this match. Zhang Chulan knew that he didn't have a guaranteed victory, so under Feng Bao Bao's guidance, he reviewed the techniques of Qi manipulation. He saw Zhang Xi Lin's encouragement and was told to deal with these old folks properly and resolve the troubles left behind from the past, becoming the strongest of the aliens.

Zhang Chulan watched Zhang Xi Lin's soul gradually fade away and dissipate, tears streaming down his face. Finally, his cultivation technique made progress, and he aimed to win the match just as Zhang Xi Lin had said. As soon as Zhang Ling Yu appeared on the stage, he used Thunder Technique against Zhang Chulan. His thunder was Yin Thunder, while Zhang Chulan's was Yang Thunder, and in this confrontation, Zhang Chulan's Yang Thunder had the upper hand.

Zhang Ling Yu couldn't help but feel envious. In the end, he still preferred the dignified Yang Five Thunders. He revealed a triumphant smile and let Zhang Chulan's Yang Five Thunders blast him away. After a burst of smoke and dust, Zhang Ling Yu finally accepted the reality that due to his broken meridians, he could only cultivate Yin Five Thunders.

Zhang Ling Yu's Yin Five Thunders transformed into sticky black water, slowly closing in on Zhang Chulan. This water could penetrate anything and was known as the Filthy Water Thunder. Zhang Ling Yu reappeared, and torrents of Yin water cascaded from his sleeves, rapidly taking over the arena. Zhang Chulan found himself immersed in the Yin water.

Among the spectators, some aliens were curious because this black water seemed unrelated to thunder techniques, yet it piqued their curiosity. Zhang Zhiwei understood his disciple Zhang Ling Yu very well. In ordinary days, Zhang Ling Yu always had an immortal and refined demeanor. Now, with this black water, Zhang Ling Yu appeared somewhat disheveled, but this was the true nature of Yin Five Thunders. Since he had learned it, he had to accept it.

Suddenly, Zhang Ling Yu launched an attack, knocking Zhang Chulan down into the black water. Zhang Chulan felt a powerful suction force and struggled to stand up after great effort, but his shoulder was burned by the black water.

Zhang Ling Yu witnessed Zhang Chu Lan's progress and acknowledged his high talent. However, Zhang Chu Lan's goal was not to defeat them, but to surpass his own limits.

Zhang Ling Yu saw a different side of Zhang Chu Lan, realizing that his shamelessness in the past was just a facade, and now he revealed his true self. Zhang Chu Lan created a thunder technique of his own, which lasted only five minutes but had astonishing power. Zhang Ling Yu was confident that he could defeat Zhang Chu Lan within those five minutes and waited for Zhang Chu Lan to unleash his ultimate move.

Zhang Chu Lan infused lightning into his body, stimulating his meridians to release swift thunder. He chased Zhang Ling Yu around the arena, eventually knocking him down. However, Zhang Ling Yu's Yin water had already spread throughout the arena, and he used it to bind Zhang Chu Lan at a critical moment.

Feeling the sticky and slimy Yin water, Zhang Chu Lan recalled Zhang Xi Lin's teachings. He understood that Yin Five Thunders aimed to transform negative energy, while Yang Five Thunders aimed to enlighten. With this realization, he stood before Zhang Ling Yu once again. Zhang Ling Yu finally apologized to Zhang Chu Lan, admitting that he shouldn't have vented his resentment for not being able to cultivate Yang Five Thunders onto Zhang Chu Lan.

Zhang Chu Lan engaged in another battle with Zhang Ling Yu. The aliens were surprised at their misjudgment, and Feng Xing Tong couldn't help but ask Feng Zheng Hao how he saw through Zhang Chu Lan's true nature. It turned out that Feng Zheng Hao had investigated Zhang Chu Lan long ago and knew that he had lived as an ordinary person, even at the beginning when Zhang Chu Lan was just considered an ordinary person by Zhang Ling Yu. This showed Zhang Chu Lan's exceptional ability to conceal himself, and his remarkable performance after twelve years of disappearance demonstrated his high talent.

Both Zhang Chu Lan and Zhang Ling Yu felt the opposing forces within them. In their final move, Zhang Chu Lan unleashed a small white worm to pursue Zhang Ling Yu. Zhang Ling Yu initially thought it was a speed-based thunder technique but was surprised to find it was a tracking-type thunder technique. He was ultimately struck down by Zhang Chu Lan.

Zhang Ling Yu greatly admired Zhang Chu Lan's talent. He exerted all his power with Yin Five Thunders but ended up being overwhelmed by the backlash. Thus, Zhang Chu Lan won the match by a stroke of luck. When Zhang Ling Yu learned that Zhang Zhiwei had drugged his breakfast, he didn't react with anger or resentment. He believed that Zhang Zhiwei must have had a purpose, which made Zhang Zhiwei think that Zhang Ling Yu was too naive.
