Episode 7 recap: Wu Xie Returns to the Training Ground to View the Scroll
In Episode 7, the foreigner De Nasi confidently offers Wu Xie a sum of three million as a reward, believing him to be a chosen partner of Zhang Qi Ling. Considering that Zhang Hai Ke possesses a crucial key, they decide to give him and Zhang Hai Xing an additional five million as a rental and hardship fee.
Fatty grumbles that the money is unfairly distributed, but to his surprise, De Nasi seems to understand and asks if they have any new leads that could raise the offer.
Fatty discreetly pulls Wu Xie aside to strategize, realizing that going head-to-head with so many people would be disadvantageous. Wu Xie is primarily focused on Zhang Qi Ling’s past and is not very interested in the collaboration; they both contemplate how to sneak away quietly. However, just as they make a move, De Nasi's men point guns at them, making escape difficult.
A heated argument breaks out between the two sides over how to handle the Night King. De Nasi wants to capture him for research, while Zhang Hai Ke aims to eliminate him for peace. Seeing the tension, Wu Xie proposes a compromise: first find the Heaven Staff, then pursue the Night King, with whoever catches him claiming the reward. This suggestion works surprisingly well, and both parties agree to the plan, ending the meeting.
Once everyone leaves, Wu Xie and Fatty start plotting their escape. The dangerous environment makes them wary, and they are not interested in investigating whether the Night King is truly as fearsome as rumored; they just want to leave quickly. They decide to feign cooperation to deceive the others and make their escape.
The plan goes relatively smoothly, but they are soon pursued. Just as they are about to be caught, a hand reaches out from a cave and saves them.
It turns out to be Yu Da, who previously helped Wu Xie during his time at the training ground. This time, he reveals that he has found Zhang Qi Ling's memories, which are written on a scroll, and asks Wu Xie if he wants to see them, or else he will hand them over to Zhang Hai Xing.
Fatty has already bought a ticket to leave, but Wu Xie hesitates. He has been searching for clues about Zhang Qi Ling for years, and with a new discovery at hand, he cannot easily give up. Seeing Wu Xie's determination, Fatty follows him back to the training ground without protest.
Upon seeing Zhang Qi Ling's scroll again, Wu Xie feels a surge of emotion. The content of the scroll seamlessly connects with what he previously knew, detailing Zhang Qi Ling's experiences leading an alien exploration team to Zhang Jia Fortress (also known as Si Fang City). There, they find the remains of Zhang family members, clearly indicating a civil conflict.
Zhang Qi Ling reveals a conspiracy—traitors attempting a coup, which led to intense battles. Unfortunately, a sudden mudslide engulfed everything, including Zhang Jia Fortress and the Heaven Staff. In a critical moment, Zhang Qi Ling urges his teammates to escape with their weapons, knowing he must face the impending danger alone due to the extraordinary abilities granted by his bloodline.
After reading the scroll, Wu Xie feels a mix of emotions. He realizes that Zhang Qi Ling carries far more burdens than he had imagined. Through their repeated adventures, he and Fatty gradually uncover more secrets about this world.
