when lan ling wang first lost his powers, he finds out that someone had put a "qi xin zhou" (七星咒 / "seven stars curse") on his family six generations ago. and if he, the seventh generation, cannot lift the curse before the eighth generation is born, then the following generations will lose their true powers and become slaves of the ye he na la family forever. but if he can lift it, he will gather up the energy of hatred that his ancestors have collected over the centuries and turn him into a "zhong ji tie ke ren" (終極鐵克人 / "ultimate iron man"). in the end, he only lifts half-the curse and becomes six times stronger than before. according to jiu wu, he also has the biggest chance of becoming zhong ji tie ke ren than xia tian. but lan ling wang himself is resistant to the idea, because the thought never occurred and add the fact that his family was killed because of supernatural abilities made him reluctant to using his powers.
