Ghostly Blessing

In my previous life, I was half a move short and ultimately failed to reach the summit.
Having traveled back to the past, this time... I want to become the strongest in this world!
To become the strongest in this world, one only needs three simple steps:
1. Pick up a newly-transferred Demonic Sect Enchantress off the streets.
2. Subdue and vanquish the demon.
3. Take her cultivation technique for myself.
Awesome! I'm already invincible!

Years later, Yan Yu, who had earned the title of "the strongest," was interviewed on television:
Host: To whom do you want to give thanks for your success today?
Yan Yu: I'd like to thank a very important woman to me.
Host (eyes lighting up): Oh, is she your wise and virtuous wife?
Yan Yu: No, consider her a stepping stone, I suppose.
Host (wiping sweat): Then... what about the other members of your team? They must have helped you as well, right?
Yan Yu: ... How could there possibly be only one stepping stone on the path to godhood?

Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Chen Lingyun, with her hands clasped behind her back, walked to just about fifty steps away. Then she turned around nimbly and revealed a brilliant smile.


Yan Yu did not respond. Instead, he activated the Barrier Charm in an instant.


Almost simultaneously, he felt the sensation of being hit by an Impact Curse in his chest, causing a slight tremor in the True Qi that flowed throughout his body.


Pretending to salute before the match, but attacking without notice. Had anyone else been standing there, they might have been caught off guard.


Because he was all too familiar with this wretched woman's underhanded tactics—to some extent, he even understood her better than Chen Lingyun understood herself at that moment.


The instructors standing by did not react, as all training was based on actual combat, which had no rules about "salutes before a match."
