My Monster Derived Skills Are the Orthodox Ones

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Let the Bullets Fly for a While

Wei Mingze left, carrying a bellyful of questions and the sports lottery issuance rules that might just lead to his promotion and sudden wealth.

Soon after, Gongsun Jie asked Li Ye a few more specific questions about the club’s operations before also leaving in a hurry with Cao Bin. He needed to return to his sect to select personnel and prepare for the match five days later.

Zhong Wenhao and his junior sister from the Qingcheng Sect were left behind. Naturally, the Profound Light Sect’s club couldn’t accommodate two outsiders.

”Lord Li, we also want to cultivate with you. We want to join the Fun People Club.” With a true bigshot sitting right in front of him, Zhong Wenhao naturally no longer held any expectations for Gongsun Jie. He shamelessly fawned over Li Ye.

”Me too,” Zhu Zhirou said eagerly.

”Go back to the Qingcheng Sect!” Li Ye smiled. ”The Fun People Club is already full. If you stay here, you won’t even get a chance to take the field. What Spiritual Power cultivation requires is fame. Why don’t you go back, find your master, and hurry to establish the Qingcheng Sect club? With your abilities, even if you can’t make the first team, you can at least be key players on the second team!”

Zhong Wenhao’s eyes lit up. He hastily stood up and bowed to Li Ye. ”Thank you for the guidance, Lord Li. We will go back right now and ask our master to establish the Qingcheng Sect club.”

Zhu Zhirou glanced at Li Ye, but she still followed behind Zhong Wenhao as they departed. She could tell that Li Ye didn’t care about them at all. Staying here really would mean riding the bench.

Once everyone had left, Shi Xiang and the others gathered around.

Liu Guangsheng looked full of worry. ”Lord Li, the Profound Light Sect and the Qingcheng Sect are both prestigious sects with countless Innate Masters. Right now, our Fun People Club only has three Innate Masters besides you. Once we face them, winning will probably be difficult.”

”If the odds aren’t high, then practice more.” Li Ye swept his gaze over them and scolded, ”You have followed me the longest and have the most Spiritual Power in your bodies. Why are you afraid of a few Innate Masters? The weak defeating the strong—if you beat a team full of Innate Masters, your Spiritual Power will grow even faster...”

A single sentence shut everyone up.

”What are you all doing gathered around here? Go practice your football.” Li Ye glared at them, waving his hand to shoo everyone out.

After they left, the Team Emblem’s voice rang out in Li Ye’s mind. ”Why didn’t you let Wei Mingze establish a club too? If he could experience the Demon Qi, the chances of persuading him would be higher.”

”Once a man has no worries about food and clothing, he wants to be an official; once he becomes a high official, he wants to become an Immortal. If we let him experience Spiritual Power, Wei Mingze would focus all his energy on Immortal cultivation, making things much harder to execute.” Li Ye smiled. ”We need him to be half-believing and half-doubting. Only then will he push this matter forward with all his might. Hui, if we want to get things done, we have to communicate with the people who actually have the final say.

”Besides, what world is made up entirely of clubs? Selecting the best of the best is the only way to truly make football flourish. Hui, you don’t need to think too much about it. I will arrange everything. Just cooperate with me from the shadows.”

”Mm,” the Team Emblem said. ”My Demon Qi is indeed growing. I have a feeling that once your league is successfully held, I will almost be able to break free from the Demon Suppression Tower’s control at any time.”

”Hui, what about my Derived Skills? Do you really have no clue at all?” Li Ye curled his lip and asked.

”Derived Skills are just minor tricks. You should focus on improving your strength. Power is everything,” the Team Emblem said.

Li Ye scoffed inwardly at the familiar rhetoric.

He could finally see it. A Demon Awakening its sentience was a gradual process. Just a few days ago, this guy had still been a bit ignorant, but now its way of speaking was actually quite similar to his own. It had even learned how to make empty promises. He wondered what was going on and who was truly influencing whom. He suspected that, in the end, it might be the demon that lost its original nature!

However, Li Ye also knew that awakening his Derived Skills would probably depend on himself. Relying on that guy was impossible.
