    Excerpt from the original novel (A Mortal's Journey to Immortality): Having mastered the Tiger Roar Technique, a single tiger's roar shattered the clouds. The young man slowly raised his palms, palms facing upwards. "Roar—!" A deafening tiger's roar exploded from the young man's mouth. An invisible sound wave shot straight to the sky. The originally impenetrable, thick clouds were torn open, creating a large hole. The bright moonlight shone through the gap in the clouds, bathing the young man in a thin layer of white light. Gentle, yet carrying a chilling power. [Admiration][Admiration][Admiration] The incomplete technique was completed by the treasure pot, and his first battle was a tiger's roar that shattered the clouds—the first major highlight of a seemingly useless person's rise to power. It gave me goosebumps after reading it.
