Xin Ding was searching for books on the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion; according to the rules, he could only take one book with him.

The books here were dazzlingly varied, and he was confused about what to choose.

"Fairy, are there hidden opportunities on the second floor?" Tofu Heavenly Venerate asked Heavenly Venerate Dou.

Heavenly Venerate Dou opened his Immortal Sense and scanned around, then shook his head, "Like the first floor, those opportunities are gone, but there are other opportunities."

"What opportunities?"

"See that monk sweeping the floor? He is actually at the Late Tribulation Stage."

"To think such a master was hidden here." Lu Yang was immensely surprised, thankful that he hadn’t rashly used his Spiritual Sense to probe, as he would certainly have been detected by the other.

"Heavenly Venerate, which book should I choose?"

"Fairy, which book should he choose?"

"That one called Qing Yan, come here, are there any good cultivation techniques on this second floor?"

Qing Yan, an honest and straightforward figure, came over. Having lived for over a thousand years in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and possessing multiple identities, he had visited the Scripture Pavilion in the Western Paradise Temple several times. He was the most familiar with the Western Paradise Temple within the Green Peak Sword Small World.

"How about the ’Six-character Mantra Scripture’? If you memorize this scripture, it has the effect of blessing and exorcising evil."

"No, it’s too difficult to learn."

"How about the ’Great Compassionate Mantra’? It can purify the soul."

"No need, this little monk’s soul is pure enough."

"How about the ’Great Brightness Spell’? It’s effective against soul attacks."

"Sounds pretty average."

"What about ’Lion Roar’? It’s a sonic attack that imitates the roar of a lion and can deter enemies. Although the second floor only has the first part, it should be enough for this little monk."

"That will do. Little Yang, let him choose ’Lion Roar’."

"Little monk, you choose ’Lion Roar’."

"Okay." Xin Ding trusted Tofu Heavenly Venerate greatly and took the first part of Lion Roar.

...

The treatment of martial monks and servant monks was not comparable; each martial monk owned their private monastery, and Xin Ding, unable to wait, started flipping through ’Lion Roar’ upon his return to the monastery.

After glancing through it twice, Xin Ding felt dizzy and couldn’t quite understand the technique.

"Heavenly Venerate, do you know Lion Roar? Could you teach me?"

From the Green Peak Sword, the eternal raspy voice of Tofu Heavenly Venerate replied, "Hehe, this seat has traversed through the heavens, mastered countless techniques; what is there I do not know? But if I were to teach you directly, it would only harm you, you should first read it a few times, get a superficial understanding of this technique, then I will teach you."

"Yes!"

Tofu Heavenly Venerate then turned and sought help from the Golden Finger, "Fairy, do you know how to perform Lion Roar?"

"What’s there not to know? The so-called Lion Roar is nothing but imitating the roar of lion-like Demon Beasts, bringing out the true essence of the roar to stun the opponent, just an ordinary technique."

"Can you teach me?" Lu Yang, clutching at straws, looked expectantly at Immortal Fairy Eternity.

"Lion-like Demon Beasts have never produced any notable characters, except for the Suan Ni of the Qiongqi Clan who are a bit capable; still, they haven’t even produced a Semi-Immortal."

Lu Yang had a request, and naturally, Immortal Fairy Eternity had to agree; however, since Lu Yang was a loyal officer of the Great Bean Dynasty, teaching him just an ordinary technique like Lion Roar wouldn’t do.

If he was to learn, he should learn the best!

"Look at Little Ling Lianyi and Xiao Baihu, their shouts are much stronger than Lion Roar."

"Dragon chants, phoenix calls, and tiger roars, huh?" Lu Yang nodded. It was indeed true, especially for the Qiongqi Clan. Despite being named ’poor,’ they had produced two Semi-Immortals, more than both the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes, truly powerful.

Whereas the Suan Ni among the lion-like Demon Beasts, was merely a branch of the Dragon Clan and truly not worth emulating.

"So, should I learn their calls?" Lu Yang asked, as dragon chants, phoenix calls, and tiger roars also sounded quite impressive.

Fairy Eternity shook her head, "Of course not, didn’t I just say that? The principle of the Lion Roar is to express the true essence of a lion’s roar. The stronger the lion you imitate, the more powerful the roar."

"So?" Lu Yang had a faint feeling of foreboding.

Fairy Eternity smiled without showing her teeth, revealing a clean smile, "Little Ling and the others are indeed strong, but none are as strong as I am. Little Yang, you just need to learn my voice!"

"Let me think, since they call it ’Lion Roar,’ then I’ll name this magic skill ’Fairy Shout.’

Fairy Eternity had never taught anyone before, so she could only think of a technique name on the spot.

Lu Yang: "..."

This technique’s name sounds like something I really don’t want to learn.

However, Lu Yang also admitted that Fairy’s analysis made sense. The more the subject of imitation resembled the original, the more powerful the roar would be.

He gritted his teeth, to become stronger, he decided to learn it!

As soon as Fairy Eternity heard that Lu Yang wanted to learn, she immediately beamed with joy and shooed away the unrelated people, "Go, go, go, all three of you, stay far away."

Qing Yan Venerable and the other two were chased to the edges of the Small World.

"Fairy, how should I learn?" Since he decided to learn, Lu Yang focused intensely on learning.

"Follow me, ha—" Fairy Eternity tried to open her mouth wide, like a kitten, pressing down her voice as she said "ha."

"Ha—" Lu Yang mimicked studiously.

"No, no, you need to imitate my voice, ha—"

"Like this? Ha—"

"Still not right." Fairy Eternity corrected him, pointing to her own mouth to demonstrate, "Pay attention to my mouth shape."

Lu Yang stared hard at Fairy Eternity’s mouth, trying to grasp every movement. The fairy’s mouth was very attractive, with red lips and white teeth, and her little tongue looked pink and tender.

"Stop staring at me all the time." Fairy Eternity pushed Lu Yang’s face away, her cheeks blushing, feeling somewhat odd.

Lu Yang wore a perplexed expression, wasn’t it you who asked me to watch?

Oh well, at His Majesty’s command, whatever he says, goes.

In just half a day, Lu Yang had learned ’Fairy Shout’. After all, spending his days with Fairy Eternity, learning her shouting voice wasn’t difficult.

"Ha—" Lu Yang emitted the voice of the Fairy, astonishingly powerful, the sound waves materialized, directly demolishing a mountaintop!

Then Lu Yang used his hands to form a horn shape, and deployed ’Fairy Shout’ again, the power increased a notch, even shaking the space!

Lu Yang was delighted, truly much more powerful than Buddhism’s ’Lion Roar’!

The only problem was that the voice wasn’t very intimidating.

"I didn’t lie to you, did I? This move is very powerful, it can immobilize the enemy and even has a suppressive effect on Demon Beasts. When the Demon Beasts hear my voice, I guarantee they all get scared and lie down!" Fairy Eternity said proudly, reminiscing how in the Ancient Times, any Demon Beast that heard her voice would immediately flee.

"Heavenly Venerate, I have reviewed it several times now, I think I understand the essence of the Lion Roar, can you teach it now?" Xin Ding closed the book with a sigh of relief, rubbing his temples, having finally understood the book after half a day’s effort.

Lu Yang muttered to himself worriedly, absorbed in learning ’Fairy Shout’, he had forgotten that Xin Ding was outside waiting for him.

Soon, from within the Green Peak Sword, the calm voice of Tofu Heavenly Venerable came, "Good comprehension, I’ll teach you the Transformation Technique first."
