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

The third round of the competition was scheduled for 10 a.m., so Yan Yu and Zhao Yuanzhen left the hotel early to have breakfast at the Town North Defense Academy's cafeteria.


The Dingbei Army's recruitment range includes the three northeastern provinces along with Qilu, northern Hebei, Central Plains, Mongolia, as well as Jinmen Prefecture and Pingjing Prefecture, so the cafeteria was full of northerners, both men and women, who slurped their noodles with gusto.


Yan Yu leisurely savored his wontons while Zhao Yuanzhen seemed to have little appetite, taking only a light sip of the noodle soup before losing interest in eating anything else.


"Is there any vinegar?" she started looking around for it.


"Morning," Chen Lingyun greeted with a tray in her hands and a cute smile on her face.


"How was it playing with that man last night?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked with ill intentions.
