My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 356 Skill farming is never as fast as skill acquisition.
Shall I challenge you to a contest?

Aren't they just using different tricks to mess with us?
With such great power, is it really worth it to torment a few small fry like us?

Tao Qifeng and the others looked at Li Ye with resentment, daring not to speak out, becoming even more certain that Mu Ye in front of them was the reincarnation of an ancient great demon.

……

With a wave of his hand, Li Ye unleashed thousands of golden rays, obscuring the view of the live stream.

It's better to keep a competition a secret from others. This derivative skill is not very ethical. It's better to keep it a secret for as long as possible. Besides, what if it can be used to ambush others later?

……

"My lord, what do you intend to do?"

Seeing that the overwhelming sunlight blocked everyone's view, Tao Qifeng's bad premonition grew stronger, and he asked in a trembling voice.

He had lived for hundreds of years, but at this moment, with a huge belly, barely clothed, and a face full of terror, he looked as helpless as a child who had encountered a demon.

Du Yu and the others had similar expressions to him, each one feeling uneasy, wondering what would happen next.

But they still had a sliver of hope in their hearts. They thought that even the worst thing couldn't be worse than having a monster stolen from them and getting pregnant in public!
"Tao Qifeng, let's compare heights," Li Ye said, looking at Tao Qifeng with a smile.

"Okay," Tao Qifeng replied subconsciously.

The voice just fell.

A voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "You lost."

Then, the skill "All Rivers Flow into the Stream," which he had finally awakened, suddenly disappeared from his mind.

Tao Qifeng froze: "My lord, you...you stole my derivative skill?"

The expressions of the others changed drastically.

Sure enough, something even worse happened; it seems they're about to be completely taken advantage of!

What deep-seated hatred or grudge could drive someone to such extremes?
“Old Tao, the umbrella is gone, what’s the use of keeping the derivative skill? Why not give it to me and help me achieve the Great Dao?” Li Ye didn’t think he had done anything wrong and comforted Tao Qifeng, “Besides, we’ve already become enemies, and I’m not entirely at ease with the skill being in your hands. As the saying goes, ‘A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.’ Giving the skill to me will be good for everyone.”

Hearing these shameless remarks, Tao Qifeng's skin trembled. So, you stole my monsters and skills, but in the end, it was all for my own good!
“Old Tao, don’t be afraid. I never let my people suffer losses. If you give me the derivative skill, I will compensate you later. I never owe anyone any karma.” Li Ye smiled and continued, “Next, let’s compare arm lengths.”

A fair trade: as long as the other party agrees to the contest, Li Ye can obtain the skill regardless of winning or losing.

Combined with Forbidden Judgment, it's like plundering divine skills, and without any side effects.

Currently, Li Ye is most satisfied with this combination technique.

My teammates and the wedding scene need to take a backseat.

After all, his strength is almost sufficient. What he lacks now is an understanding of the Great Dao. Moreover, only after he attains the Great Luo Dao can he use demonic creatures with peace of mind and without worrying about being possessed.

……

A curtain hangs in the sky, countless rivers flow into the same stream, the shadows of umbrellas appear and disappear, umbrella blades cleave the sky, rain falls against the season.
In a short while, Li Ye transferred all five derivative skills that Tao Qifeng had acquired from umbrellas over the years to his own account.

Li Ye was kind-hearted. Through Tao Qifeng's memories, he knew that these were all the derivative skills he had acquired. After obtaining them, he naturally stopped.

It's not very kind to fleece a sheep completely.

He had already seen the Heavenly Curtain and the Flow of Ten Thousand Rivers, so the Sky-Splitting Umbrella Blade was just an ordinary attack skill.

What's truly useful is the illusionary umbrella shadow. By rapidly rotating the umbrella, it can project thousands of umbrella shadow clones to disrupt the enemy's detection system, while he can instantly teleport to the location of any umbrella shadow to launch a surprise attack.

This skill is a spatial technique, comparable to Void Footwork.

Every spatial skill is worth cherishing; if you accumulate enough, you might awaken the Great Dao of Space.

As for Reverse Rain, it is a slowing field. Once activated, the speed of everyone within the area covered by the raindrops will be reduced by fifty percent.

Including the umbrella user themselves, it's a comprehensive negative skill that counters speed-based abilities.

Moreover, because it's a proportional compression, the stronger the individual, the more severe the suppression; however, it's practically useless against those who have mastered spatial abilities.

Next up was Li Zhenxing, who was holding a chopping board. Li Ye took four skills from him.

These are: Deconstructing Everything: Placing the target on a cutting board and automatically breaking it down into raw materials;

Feast Supply: Supplies placed on the cutting board can be precisely delivered to designated coordinates;

Gravity crushing: Using a heavy object to smash someone can generate potential energy ten thousand times greater;

Anvil Hell: Placing the enemy on an anvil surface can conjure countless kitchen knives to subject them to a slow and agonizing attack.
Li Zhenxing has several excellent skills.

Li Ye's favorite thing is the deconstruction of all things. Decomposition is the cornerstone of destruction, while creation and destruction are the basic abilities of the creator. If he were to delve deeper into this skill, he might very well awaken the Path of Annihilation...

……

Next up is Song Hui's hiking pole.

Li Ye stole four skills from him:
These are: Star Ridge Penetration: High-frequency shockwaves are released through the tip of the staff, which can cause the target's structural collapse upon impact;
Boundary marker reconstruction: The trekking pole is inserted into the ground, and the pole releases energy pulses, reshaping the surrounding terrain. The stronger the trekker, the wider the area reshaped.

Expedition Mark: Holding a trekking pole allows you to mark friendly forces, reducing physical exertion by 50% and doubling mental resistance during marches and battles;
Void Anchor Point: Throw a trekking pole and insert it into the ground to create a temporary wormhole that can teleport friendly units to the vicinity of the anchor point regardless of distance;

……

Jiao Zhihong's ruler provided Li Ye with three derivative techniques:

Fairness Decree: Expand the territory to force both sides in a war to use weapons of equal technological level, suppressing the advantage of higher civilization levels;
Dimensional Cutting: Swinging a ruler can draw spatial cracks, dividing the battlefield into independent squares. Touching a spatial crack will cause you to be torn apart by space.

Precise Judgment: Measure the target's crime value, and the ruler will transform into a sword of judgment, launching a sure-fire strike against the most sinful. The attack power and the crime value are due north.

……

Finally, there was Vice President Du Yu's bedsheet, who provided Li Ye with four skills:
Nightfall Cover: Unfold the sheet to cover the area, blocking all electromagnetic signals and spiritual perception. Friendly forces can move invisibly, while the enemy is trapped in a "fog of war" with limited visibility.
Super Swaddling: Can wrap the target in a bed sheet like a swaddle, rendering the target unable to move or use action skills;
Nightmare Weaving: You can make a target wrapped in a sheet hallucinate and see the most terrifying scenes;
Entropy adsorption: Energy attacks within the absorption range of the bed sheet are converted into energy fluff, causing it to lose kinetic energy;

……

Li Ye stole a total of twenty skills from five people.

Tao Qifeng and the others' skills are mostly on the technology side, which should be related to their combat style. After shifting from cultivation to mechanical civilization, they rely on interstellar warships for their expeditions.

Moreover, Tao Qifeng and others have gone astray in developing derivative skills, as most of the skills they awakened rely on demons.

Without the demon, their skills were practically useless.

Even if Li Ye doesn't take them away, their derivative skills won't be very effective.

Li Ye and the derivative skills of gods such as Zeus can be used independently without the aid of demons.

……

Tao Qifeng and the others had their derivative skills stripped away. The five of them were dejected, heavily pregnant, and awaiting Li Ye's final judgment. Having had their demons and derivative skills taken away, they should no longer be of any use.

"Don't look so sad. Although you've lost the demons and their derivative skills, your cultivation levels are still intact." Li Ye looked around at the group and said, "In the future, when we rebuild the Heavenly Court, I will help you transcend your tribulations and ascend to immortality, fulfilling your lifelong dreams. Isn't that much better than you relying on demons to prolong your lives?"

"Mr. Mu, will you really help us ascend to immortality?" Tao Qifeng asked incredulously.

"Of course, I said I wouldn't owe anyone any karma," Li Ye laughed. "Besides, you've only temporarily lost one demon. When you encounter other demons in the future, you can still use derivative skills again. I can't possibly use so many demons at the same time..."

So you got the derivative skills to use, huh?
Tao Qifeng saw through Li Ye's thoughts at a glance and gave a wry smile: "Thank you, my lord."

"Let's go! It's time to restore order to the Federation."

Li Ye smiled, waved his hand to dispel the all-obscuring power of the Sun God, looked in the direction of the Federal capital, tossed his hiking stick, and then activated the Void Anchor Point to teleport everyone there.

With the Void Feet, Void Anchor Point, and Eye of Truth, he could almost move people around at will within a certain space, much like Wang Lingguan.

However, the combination of several skills is still somewhat inferior to the true spatial manipulation.
