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

Lin Yu looked at the attribute panel in his mind.

【Magic Power: 6500】

【Strength: 79】

[Physical Fitness: 47]

【Speed: 35】

【Spirit: 115】

[Talent: S-Rank Flame Master: Evolving...]

[Flame Unlock Forms: Blazing Flame, Dragon Flame (Unlocking in progress...)]

"An S-rank flame controller in Dragon Flame form should be able to contend with the strongest evolutionaries from my previous life."

A strong fighting spirit surged within Lin Yu.

In his previous life, even after his talent awakened to S-level, he barely managed to squeeze into the ranks of top-tier evolvers.

The gap is still huge if they want to catch up with the strongest evolved beings.

Things are different now. He has evolved into the S-rank talent Dragon Flame, which is much stronger than in his previous life.

S-Class Flame Master!

This has already transcended the most basic elemental talents and can be considered one of the top special talents.

"The zombie rain is coming!"

Lin Yu looked up at the sky; the red rain of evolution had become scarce.

When the rain of evolution stops, numerous dimensional rifts will appear in the sky, dropping countless zombie airdrops.

By then, zombies will roam freely, and the true curtain of evolution will slowly rise.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

The weak will be eliminated!

"Let's go get something to eat first; awakening has consumed too much energy."

Lin Yu got dressed and ran towards the foot of the mountain.

His most important task was to reunite with his sister as soon as possible.

However, a large number of zombies will soon be falling, so we cannot act rashly at this time.

"I wonder what talent my sister will awaken."

Thinking of this, Lin Yu took out his phone and dialed the number while running.

"Brother~"

The call was answered instantly, and Lin Xiaoyou's slightly uneasy voice came through.

Lin Yu was startled.

"Brother, do you know something? Is the world about to change? I have a feeling something big is about to happen."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu felt heavy-hearted.

"Silly girl, don't worry, your brother is here for you," Lin Yu comforted her softly.

"In about twenty minutes, tons of zombies will fall from the sky all over the world!"

"Zombies!"

A scream came from the phone, Lin Xiaoyou's voice trembling: "Is it the zombie I know?"

"Yes, it's like the zombies in the movie Resident Evil 56, maybe even scarier than in the movie! But don't be afraid..."

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone.

But her rapid and trembling breathing told Lin Yu that the silly girl was probably terrified.

After much comforting, Lin Xiaoyou finally accepted the truth.

However, her pale lips, her pale face, and her trembling hand holding the phone all indicated her fear and helplessness.

But she had to be strong; she had to wait for her brother to come to her, and they had to live on together.

"Silly girl, just stay in your dorm by yourself. Don't go anywhere. No matter what you see or hear, don't open the door. The supplies are enough for you to last for more than a month. I'll come and meet you as soon as possible..."

Lin Yu gave the instructions again.

Lin Xiaoyou's school has pretty good facilities; the student dormitories are all double rooms with bathrooms.

Her other roommate rarely stayed in the dormitory after the second semester of her freshman year, and mostly stayed off-campus.

"By the way, silly girl, what talent did you awaken?"

"Talent? What's that?" Lin Xiaoyou asked, puzzled.

Lin Yu was startled.

Does her silly younger sister not have any awakened talent?

"So, did anything happen after you got caught in the rain?" he asked tentatively.

"Bro, that red rain hurt so much when it hit my body. I only lasted for about twenty minutes before I went back to the dorm. Then an attribute panel appeared in my mind."

"I did as you said and ate all seven fruits, and then I felt much stronger, as if there was a power within me..."

Lin Xiaoyou spilled out everything that had happened to her, like pouring out beans.

Hearing his sister's words, Lin Yu fell silent for a moment.

【Magic Power: 1000】

Strength: 203+20.3

[Physical Fitness: 5]

【Speed: 5】

【Spirit: 5】

[Golden Power Rune: Permanently increases Strength attribute by 10%]

This is Lin Xiaoyou's current attribute panel, Lin Yu thought to himself as he ran.

This panel is a little different from his.

He lost his talent but gained golden divine runes of power.

It seems that the golden fruit is a power fruit, but the attribute bonuses are just too outrageous.

The golden fruit directly grants +200 to attributes, plus a permanent 10% bonus, instantly boosting strength to 223.3 points.

That's absolutely terrifying!

"In the early stages, this is a humanoid female Tyrannosaurus Rex!" Lin Yu clicked his tongue in amazement.

This strength attribute is more than three times his.

However, he awakened a talent: if he covered his fist with the power of fire, the power of his punch would increase exponentially.

Even direct fire attacks increase damage; that's the power of talent.

In his previous life, F-rank flames could increase his power damage by 0.5 times; now, in his S-rank flame state, it can increase it by 2 times.

As for the Dragon Flame state!

Lin Yu estimated that it could improve by at least 3 times.

In other words, although his current strength attribute is 79 points, this is a base value, which can be understood as the damage of a normal attack.

If he uses the S-rank talent Flame, he will cast a fireball.

So, if the damage from Fireball is increased by 2 times, that's an increase of 158, and the total attack damage is 237.

Therefore, the basic attribute is basic attack damage.

Awakening talents are skills that amplify the damage of basic attacks many times over. However, using talents requires mana.

The greater the magic power, the stronger the innate skills.

Magic is like internal energy, and skills are like martial arts moves.

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms with a century's worth of internal energy is clearly stronger than the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms with 20 years' worth of internal energy.

"Brother, why aren't you saying anything? Am I really weak because I haven't awakened any talent?"

Knowing the power of awakened talent, Lin Xiaoyou felt a little disappointed when she saw Lin Yu remain silent for a long time.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking? Do you even know what your 223 points of strength represent?"

Noticing that his younger sister was in a bad mood, Lin Yu quickly tried to comfort her.

"A normal adult male's strength is 5 points. A full-force punch can generate about 100 kilograms of force."

"Calculate for yourself how strong your 225 points of strength really are!"

However, Lin Yu thought of a problem.

Simply increasing strength without improving physical fitness will likely prevent one from exerting their full potential.

After all, great strength requires a strong physique to support it.

However, he had never seen a golden fruit before and didn't know the specifics, so he could only let Xiao You try it herself.

Listen to Lin Yu's words.

Lin Xiaoyou on the other end of the phone opened her mouth slightly and stared wide-eyed.

She solved this simple math problem in less than 3 seconds.

"Bro, you mean... I can punch with over 4 tons of force now? You couldn't fool a little girl like that!"

"Try it if you don't believe me!"

Lin Yu's lips twitched.

The attributes added by the golden fruit are indeed terrifying; he had never heard of any related rumors in his previous life.

However, without awakened talent, they would probably be no match for someone with S-rank talent.

Moreover, as it continues to evolve, this gap will only widen.

Even low-level evolved beings with strong talents can easily suppress high-level ordinary people.

"wrong!"

Lin Yu recalled Lin Xiaoyou's attribute panel and suddenly noticed something unusual.
