Xu Yi found himself in a parallel world where one hundred and forty years ago, Zombies descended globally through spatial rifts, bringing humanity to the brink of collapse. Unlike traditional zombies, these hopping monsters, starting from Green-faced Fanged Hairy Zombies, proved nearly impervious to modern weapons, with advanced forms like Flying Zombies and Unmelting Bone Zombies capable of mass destruction. In response, some humans awakened Talent Sequences, gaining extraordinary powers to fight back, and the importance of this ability became paramount. Xu Yi, having recently transmigrated, confirmed his new reality through news reports of B-rank and S-rank Zombie incidents. On Sequence Awakening Day at Pingcheng Second High School, he awakened three Talents to choose from, including a highly coveted Fire Attribute Sequence, one of the few capable of greatly restraining Zombies. Defying expectations, he rejected the Fire Attribute Sequence and chose an unknown Sequence called 【Taoist】, which had never appeared before, infuriating the principal who saw it as a reckless gamble. Xu Yi remained confident, believing the Taoist Sequence was perfectly suited for a world plagued by Zombies.After fusing with the Sequence, Xu Yi’s personal panel revealed his Sequence path as Taoist to Heavenly Master to Dragon Tiger Heavenly Master to Ancient Qi Practitioner, with a passive skill named All Evils Avoided that dealt extra high damage to Evil Spirits, and an active skill called Palm Thunder Curse, a powerful lightning spell. The advancement condition to Tier 2 required slaying ten Purple Zombies. Shortly after, Director Zhao from the Awakening Office arrived to conduct a Sequence Strength Test on the school playground, using two restrained Purple Zombies as targets. One by one, students demonstrated their skills against the resilient Zombies, which possessed terrifying self-healing abilities. Most students struggled to even break the Zombie’s skin, receiving low ratings of C or D, causing many to lose confidence. The principal grew worried about the psychological impact until Zhu Xiaotong, the school’s sole Fire Attribute Sequence wielder, used her Fire Crow skill to inflict noticeable burns, earning an A-rating and direct admission to Dragon Tiger Academy.When Xu Yi’s turn came, he calmly stepped forward and chanted an incantation. Summoning a bolt of lightning from clear sky, he unleashed a dazzling thunderbolt from his palm that struck the Purple Zombie’s chest with devastating force. The lightning created a large, charred wound, carbonized the flesh, and suppressed the Zombie’s regeneration, causing it to shriek in agony. The power far surpassed the Fire Attribute Sequence, stunning everyone present, including Director Zhao. Recognizing the lightning contained an exceptional energy that obliterated Malevolent Energy, Zhao Quhong rated Xu Yi’s Sequence strength as S-Class, the highest level, and formally invited him to join Dragon Tiger Academy without an exam, with top-level training resources. Xu Yi accepted without hesitation. Afterward, with Zhao’s permission, Xu Yi unleashed another Palm Thunder Curse, killing the Purple Zombie outright, marking the first time Zhao had seen a newly awakened student slay one during a test. Xu Yi’s panel then updated, showing he had awakened a new Talisman Art, the Six Ding Six Jia Talisman, which summoned a Divine General to slay evil and demons, further verifying his unique potential as a Taoist Sequence User destined to become a cornerstone of human defense against the Zombie threat.

I am invested in the school setting. Pingcheng Second High School feeling real. The principal’s office, the radio playing news, the test on the playground. It grounds the apocalyptic story in a mundane setting, making the horror and wonder hit harder. It’s not some secret base; it’s a high school. And the kids are just kids, some shaking, some brave. The scene of the students losing confidence after the tests was a great emotional beat. It shows the psychological toll of their world. The principal’s worry about them becoming "cowardly lizards" is a very astute observation.

I hope they explore the downsides of being a unique sequence. Is it harder to find cultivation resources? Are there special side effects? Is the "All Evils Avoided" passive a blessing or a curse if he meets non-evil monsters? The story sets up a world of pure evil zombies, but what about other people or spirits? A unique path often means a lonely path. I hope the author adds some costs to this power, some trials that specifically exploit his "unique" nature. Conflict is the soul of drama, and a perfect power is boring without a price.

The story is very "gamer-friendly." The panel updates, the conditions for advancement, the skill unlocks upon defeating enemies (like the talisman from the first kill), and the "Loading" concept for sequence fusion. These are mechanics that feel familiar to anyone who plays games. It breaks down complex cultivation into digestible, satisfying goals. This lowers the barrier to entry for readers who might not be familiar with Taoist lore or deep cultivation novels. It’s a great translation of a complex concept into a simple, addictive progression framework.

The students’ reactions after Xu Yi’s lightning are the best part. "He killed a Purple Zombie just like that?" "Are we fighting the same zombie?" These are the exact thoughts of the reader. The writer is using the audience (the other students) to voice our own shock and awe. It’s a classic and effective technique. It helps the reader feel the weight of the event. When Gao Kai starts calling him "Adoptive Father," it’s hilarious but also shows how reality-shattering the power difference is. The story knows exactly how to make Xu Yi seem like a god among men.

One thing I love is the *feeling* of the magic. The incantations, the hand seals, the concept of "Taoist." It feels ancient and profound. In a world of simple attribute powers (Water, Fire), the "Taoist" sequence feels like it belongs to a different, higher plane of existence. It evokes a sense of mystery and tradition. This gives the story a lyrical quality that most gamelit stories lack. It’s like reading a cultivation story crossed with Dawn of the Dead, and it somehow works perfectly.

I am going to reread the first chapter immediately. The amount of foreshadowing in the first news report is brilliant. "B-rank incident, Flying Zombie." "S-rank, Unmelting Bone." "Sequence Awakening Day." It sets up the entire world crisis in three lines. And it slaps you in the face with the danger. Then it contrasts with the "safe" high school test where a powerful zombie is brought in. The story is a masterclass in "tell the reader the threat, then show them the power." It makes every moment feel tense, even the happy parts. I love it.
