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

After consulting with Yan Yu in detail, the instructors found themselves in a state of powerless exasperation.


It wasn't that Yan Yu was uncooperative or secretive; in fact, this student was quite amenable, almost always ready with an answer.


It's just that the answers were a bit outrageous.


Overall, Yan Yu displayed two very obvious traits in this guidance battle.


First, his spellcasting speed was extremely fast, one second he was casting Spell A, and the next he could interrupt and switch to Spell B.


Second, his tactical awareness was incredibly strong; he could accurately predict Chen Lingyun's intentions every time and employ targeted counter-tactics.


This might sound like bragging, but when you think about it, it doesn't seem out of place.
