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

About one or two hours before the scheduled meal, Yan Yu took this time to teach Anna the Three Arts and Five Spells in detail.


"Do you have any difficulties with it?" he finally asked to confirm.


"Yes," Anna said helplessly, "I don't get any of it... I'm just memorizing the theory here, and I have nowhere to practice!"


"As long as you understand the theory thoroughly, why be afraid you won't be able to practice later?" Yan Yu said indifferently.


How do I remember someone saying before: The most important thing for a cultivator is actual combat?


"I want to go outside and practice," Anna said eagerly, "but I'm afraid of being discovered and then not being able to explain myself."


"Then don't practice outside," Yan Yu said.


Once we go to Siberia, you'll have plenty of time to practice.


Anna immediately felt a bit depressed. This man really didn't know how to comfort a girl. Shouldn't he usually say, "Then I'll help you figure something out"?
