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

Not until Yan Yu had followed the designated route and completed an entire lap did Chen Lingyun reluctantly end her filming.


"How much?" Han Zaixian, standing by her side, asked her.


"1 minute and 11 seconds," Chen Lingyun replied.


The course, originally designed to be completed in about 3 and a half minutes, was run by Yan Yu in a terrifying 1 minute and 11 seconds, leaving Han Zaixian with nothing but admiration—he certainly couldn't have done it himself.


Of course, the dignity of an instructor must be upheld, especially with all the students watching!


Han Zaixian didn't show any hint of "wow, I can't believe you ran that fast" shock. Instead, he put on a confident smile that said, "Haha, I knew you could do it," and patted the returning Yan Yu on the shoulder, laughing as he said:


"Yan Yu, you run so well!!! So, do you think there's still room for improvement on your time?"
