Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

"Brothers, please calm down."

Seeing the wary looks on the faces of the people in front of him, Wang Ergou hurriedly said, "We are Iron-Willed Tenderhearted, you must have heard of us."

Everyone was stunned by these words.

"A tough exterior with a tender heart?"

"Is it that tough-hearted guy who killed Vulcan on the forum?"

Xiao Wen and the others' eyes widened upon hearing this.

The Iron-Willed Tender-Hearted Squad is an incredibly strong team in Eternal Day. Although they haven't officially joined the guild, everyone knows about the team's origins.

Their captain is the president, the magician boss's best buddy.

"Haha, so these are my tough-hearted brothers."

"Please come in!"

"I've heard so much about you guys. Sweeping through the Vulcan base was so satisfying."

A group of enthusiastic people surrounded the Iron-Willed Tender-Hearted Squad and led them into the base.

"Little San'er, hurry up and prepare some good food. Roast that mutated beast I hunted yesterday. I want to treat my tough-hearted brothers to a good meal."

Xiao Wen shouted loudly.

A nimble little chubby boy chuckled and quickly ran off.

"Is this the eternal day? How wonderful." An Qingrou sighed.

"Yes, having witnessed so much deceit and the evil in human nature, I'm still a little unaccustomed to experiencing this kind of genuine enthusiasm again."

Xie Xie smiled, clearly very happy.

Everyone in the Iron-Willed Tender-Hearted Squad was caught off guard by this sudden burst of enthusiasm.

It's like a child who has been away from home for many years returning and still feeling valued.

On this day, there was endless revelry.

Even Liu Shiyun came out of the trial space and solemnly held an induction ceremony for them.

"From today onwards, we have officially become members of Eternal Day."

"This badge design is really nice."

A group of people looked at the eternal day mark that appeared on their bodies and felt a sense of belonging.

……

After the revelry, things quickly returned to normal.

After all, this is the end times, and all warmth must be built upon strength.

Everyone prioritizes improving their strength.

Inside the guild hall, a group of guild members were enjoying fruit drinks, some even playing mahjong, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

These people were either returning from hunting mutated beasts or members who had just come out of the trials, and they were gathered together to rest.

"All the members of the Iron Will and Tender Heart group have entered the Trial of the Strong. I wonder how strong they are."

"That goes without saying. To be able to destroy Vulcan, their team leader, Wang Kang, must be an S-rank powerhouse."

"I also heard that the man is the president's best friend."

A group of guild members were discussing it excitedly.

After all, as the guild grows stronger, they are very proud to be a member of it.

"Sister Shiyun has also gone to participate in the strong person assessment trial. This time, she will probably become an S-level strong person as well."

"It's so exciting to think about! There are more and more strong people in our Eternal Day."

Over time.

Soon, many members of the Iron Will and Tender Heart team had completed their assessments and exited the trial space.

Once everyone had finished their evaluations, the guild members eagerly rushed into the guild's stone tablet.

Upon entering, one sees a series of names on the Trial Tower monument.

[Magician, Rating S]

[Chen is seated, rating S]

Ye Piaopiao, Rating: S

[Divine Punishment, Rating S]

……

"Holy crap, so many S-rank experts."

"This is blindingly good! Yongzhou is amazing!"

The crowd was incredibly excited as they watched the string of S-rank experts.

"The Magician, Boss Chen, Ye Piaopiao, Divine Punishment, Rain God, Lin Xiaoyou, Liu Shiyun, The Passionate Scoundrel, An Qingrou, Li Qingyun..."

"Brothers, that's ten now, ten S-rank powerhouses."

After everyone counted the names, they were all shocked when they saw them.

Because there were a few people who really surprised them.

"Isn't the 'deeply affectionate rogue' the kind of boss who's tough on the outside but soft on the inside?"

"Holy crap, An Qingrou looks like such a delicate girl, yet she's an S-rank powerhouse? Are you kidding me?"

"Yeah, it's really discouraging. I wonder what her talent is."

Someone wailed.

More than anything, people were shocked.

Many members of the Iron-Willed Tender-Hearted Squad didn't know that their Sister An was so strong.

What exactly is her talent? Everyone is speculating.

"Haha, Lu Qi has fallen out of the top ten. I wonder if he'll be so depressed when he comes back." Liu Yu laughed heartily when he saw the list.

It is located on the edge of a deep pool, about 100 kilometers away from Tianhai City.

Lu Qi was holding a large, golden crab, looking for a place to bite it.

Suddenly, I couldn't help but sneeze.

"Who's talking about me?"

Lu Qi rubbed his nose and looked back at the large crab in his hand.

"This is the guy we found based on the clues to his wish. He's really strong. I almost lost when I was at level three."

"I wonder what talent I'll gain after receiving its power."

He was somewhat excited.

Who has ever seen such a huge crab, especially a golden one? He struggled for a long time to break off the crab's legs. The crab meat inside was barely edible, but it was too fishy to eat raw.

"Never mind, I have a feeling this thing is really strong."

With that thought in mind, he closed his eyes and ate the meat inside the golden crab leg.

At the same time, he activated his talent for "ability reception".

Instantly, beams of intense light emanated from his body.

"Aaaaaah!"

Lu Qi felt as if his hand was about to break, as if some terrifying change was taking place.

After a moment, the tearing sensation subsided, replaced by a surge of power.

only--

Something feels off.

"Holy crap!! How did my hands turn into two giant pincers?" Lu Qi jumped up in horror the moment he saw his hands.

His human hands had disappeared, replaced by two large, golden pincers.

Instantly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Am I going to turn into a crab spirit?"

"No, no, it must be that I haven't mastered this new ability yet..." Lu Qi kept reassuring himself.

Then he plunged into the pool and carefully contemplated the experience.

Inside the Hall of Eternal Daylight, everyone was still discussing it.

Besides Vice President Liu Shiyun, Li Qingyun from the Thunder Team, that little guy actually made it into the S-level rating, which was something no one expected.

"Brother Yu, I wonder how things are going on your end?"

Liu Shiyun sighed softly; she was starting to miss that man.

Just then.

"Sister Shiyun, check the forum quickly, there's news about the boss," Xiao Wen suddenly said.

His words immediately silenced the hall.

Everyone rushed to the forum.

[The magician, relying on his superior strength, acted recklessly, killing over a hundred elite experts from my Xie family without cause. Does he truly disregard the Empire and the Temple?]

Familiar formula, familiar taste.

This time, however, things seem to be more serious.

Because it directly involves the empire.
