Armor Talisman

"Peng!"

"Rumble!"

At this moment, the restaurant that was on fire suddenly emitted a loud boom, shattering several pieces of glass on the windows, which fell to the ground with a clatter, causing the already somewhat frightened onlookers to retreat a few steps.

"It's over! It's over! Su Yaqian must be dead this time!"

"Beautiful women have such fragile lives! It's too tragic to perish at such a young age."

"Alas! Too bad I'm not a superhero, otherwise I would have rushed in to save her long ago!"

The crowd around was chattering, showing expressions of worry and regret, but with such a huge fire, no one dared to rush in to save people. Looking around, there was even a sense of bystander mentality.

Li Ye frowned, his fists clenched tightly. In the past, when he didn't have the ability, he would have been like these ordinary people, just a bystander, at most expressing some regret and sorrow.

But now he clearly had a great chance of having the ability. If he didn't do anything, his conscience wouldn't let him off.

Moreover, the reason why Su Yaqian was rated as the top school beauty of Jiangnan University was not only because of her outstanding appearance but also because of her good character and personality.

It was often heard that she frequently visited nursing homes and orphanages.

It was such a waste for such an outstanding young lady to die in a fire.

Sighing, Li Ye no longer hesitated. He quietly held the armor talisman in his hand, silently reciting the spell. Li Ye felt the armor talisman suddenly disappear, and then he felt his whole body enveloped in an invisible armor-like layer.

According to the description in the "Records of the Nine Provinces," this armor talisman possesses the miraculous effects of being invulnerable to swords and invincible against water and fire.

It couldn't be more suitable for rescuing people.

After carefully sensing some changes in his body and confirming that everything was normal, Li Ye picked up the black cat lying on his shoulder and threw it to the eldest brother, Zhao Yang, saying urgently, "I'm going in to save people! Watch over this black cat for me."

Without waiting for Zhao Yang to respond, Li Ye directly crossed the cordon and rushed towards the blazing fire!

"Oh my god! Look! Someone's going in!!!" There was an uproar in the crowd.

"This guy is so cool! He's risking his life for a beauty!"

"Come on, classmate! You must rescue Su Yaqian!"

"Hey! This student, it's too dangerous inside, you can't..."

Before a plump school leader could finish his words, he watched in amazement as Li Ye leaped past him and plunged straight into the raging fire.

The raging fire instantly engulfed his slender and frail figure completely.

Inside the burning restaurant, Li Ye widened his eyes in search of Su Yaqian, but his heart was filled with excitement.

The armor talisman had taken effect on him! The blazing flames seemed to respond as if they had sensed his presence, changing direction to avoid him as if encountering a natural enemy, allowing Li Ye to approach without feeling the scorching heat of the fire.

In the midst of the flames, Li Ye didn't feel the intense heat of the fire at all.

Since the armor talisman from the world of Xuan Dao could work on him, it meant that the "Purple Cloud Heart Technique" would also have an effect on him!

He could cultivate Daoism and cultivate immortality on Earth with the "Purple Cloud Heart Technique"!

As for whether there was spiritual energy on Earth, Li Ye, who possessed spiritual stones, didn't need to worry about this issue at all.

According to the Records of the Nine Provinces, the sapphire-like spiritual stones contained spiritual energy within them, and Li Ye could absorb the spiritual energy from the spiritual stones for cultivation!

He had truly hit the jackpot this time!!!

Ecstatic in his heart, Li Ye shuttled through the flames and quickly rushed to the second floor of the restaurant.

The restaurant was in a mess, and under a dining table, Li Ye found Su Yaqian, who was already unconscious and unresponsive.

He hurried over and held Su Yaqian in his arms. At this moment, there was no room for thoughts about gender boundaries.

Feeling the softness of Su Yaqian's body, Li Ye immediately turned around and planned to rush downstairs.

However, as soon as he reached the staircase, there was a loud rumble, and the wooden stairs collapsed from the middle.

"Damn it!" Li Ye panicked. The only exit was gone. Now, the only option was to jump out through the window!

Fortunately, the upscale restaurant was on the second floor, so jumping down wouldn't be too shocking.

But some necessary preparation was still needed.

Li Ye smiled bitterly to himself, casually smearing some ashes on his body. Then, he dashed towards the nearest window.

He leaped up!

Outside, everyone anxiously watched the burning restaurant, each wearing a look of inexplicable anticipation.

"Will Li Ye be able to rescue Su Yaqian?" Chen Nan stared fixedly at the second-floor restaurant, his fists clenched so tightly that they were almost dripping water.

"This Li Ye is too impulsive! He dares to rush in even with such a big fire. He's really courageous! I admire him!" Zhao Yang also showed concern and admiration, speaking with exceptional respect.

"Come out! Come out!..." Wang Jian murmured softly, his hands clasped together, unable to hide the concern and worry in his eyes.

"Look! He's coming out!!!" Someone exclaimed, and the crowd erupted into murmurs.

Then, everyone witnessed a scene that they would never forget.

A slender man, holding an unconscious woman tightly in his arms, leaped out from the flames, drawing a graceful arc in the sky and landing heavily on the ground.

This hero-saving-beauty scene was incredibly cool!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Li Ye lay on his back, holding Su Yaqian tightly to his chest. If it weren't for the presence of the armor charm, the tremendous impact would have broken several bones at least.

He coughed violently a few times, trying to struggle to his feet, but was immediately surrounded by firefighters and school leaders.

"How are you, young man?! Are you injured?!" a middle-aged man asked urgently.

"Hoo... hoo..." Li Ye gasped for air violently, the intense pain in his chest almost suffocating him. He pointed at Su Yaqian with trembling fingers and urgently said, "Quick! Take her to the hospital!"

"The ambulance is standing by nearby. You're really something, young man!" A firefighter walked up to Li Ye, gently patting his shoulder, and exclaimed sincerely.

Li Ye forced a smile, his lips trembling with difficulty. He didn't say anything. He really didn't want to go through such extreme physical exertion again.

Feeling an overwhelming sense of exhaustion in his mind, Li Ye tried to struggle to his feet, but the soreness and weakness that permeated his entire body left him unable to muster any strength. Finally, amidst the astonished exclamations of the crowd, Li Ye slipped into unconsciousness.

He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. When he woke up from his coma, he found himself in a very clean and tidy hospital room.

The air was filled with a faint smell of formaldehyde.

On the bedside table, there were several bouquets of flowers and some fruits.

Li Ye struggled to sit up, realizing that he had changed into a clean hospital gown. The sensation of pain in his body was no longer as intense as before.

Wrapped around his chest was a thick white bandage, indicating that he had been injured. Despite the protective effect of the armor charm, jumping from the second floor while carrying another person still caused some injuries to Li Ye, who was just an ordinary person.

Li Ye smiled wryly to himself, realizing that engaging in heroics like saving damsels in distress might not be the best idea without absolute strength. Even with the armor charm, he couldn't escape being injured like this!

The sunlight streamed in through the French windows, indicating that it was probably noon. Just as he was about to get up, his stomach growled loudly.

"Whizz..."

At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and several people entered, including his roommates Zhao Yang and the others.

"Damn, Lao Si, you're finally awake!" Zhao Yang exclaimed excitedly as they entered the room, seeing Li Ye looking at them.

Li Ye smiled faintly and asked, "How long was I unconscious?"

"Damn, you've been sleeping since yesterday morning until now," Wang Jian chimed in, his eyes fixed on Li Ye, continuing, "But you really have some guts, charging into such a big fire. Looks like the beauty of our school, Su Da, will end up in your hands and can't run away."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Ye clenched his fist and lightly punched Wang Jian's chest, laughing and scolding him.
