The pace of learning this time is indeed much slower than when he stole skills from Gao Lanlan before.

He was attacked three times, and the learning progress was only one-thousandth, which means Lin Ye needs to be attacked with the 'Devouring' skill by the Beast Devourer at least three thousand times to fully learn the skill.

Of course, this is just a preliminary estimate. After all, whether every three times can accumulate one-thousandth progress, or if Lin Ye was just lucky to accumulate that bit of progress, is uncertain.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, according to the process of this Secret Realm, Lin Ye has plenty of time to spend on acquiring skills.

At the moment, he didn't care at all about the three Beast Devourers chasing him relentlessly from behind.

With a flash, he disappeared from where he stood and reappeared a little further ahead.

The three Beast Devourers pounced on empty air, looked up, and saw their enemy just ahead, immediately charging towards Lin Ye once again.

One must admit, these round and seemingly clumsy creatures are actually quite quick when moving, and they are floating, completely ignoring terrain obstacles.

The Tower of Ruin is dangerous primarily because of these Beast Devourers. Once they go berserk, there is no end, either you die, or they do.

These brainless creatures don't know what fear is; no matter how much larger the creature is than themselves, they have the courage to bristle and hiss at it.

Moreover, they have a swarm attribute. Once you provoke one of them, if you can't kill it or shake it off, any other Beast Devourers you encounter on the run will join in the chase.

It is because of the existence of these dangerous demons that this Secret Realm's difficulty is so high.

It can be said that except for having much lower Life Value than demons of the same level, these Beast Devourers are powerful demons without any other weaknesses.

If an ordinary Professional was being chased by three Beast Devourers, they would definitely try to find a way to eliminate them immediately.

Otherwise, if they encounter other Beast Devourers during the chase, the situation will become increasingly complicated.

These furball-like demons will keep chasing you until you die, and then devour you completely.

But Lin Ye had no such concerns. He even intentionally chose areas where Beast Devourers lingered, to let them chase him.

Over time, a large group of Beast Devourers was following behind Lin Ye.

Under the pursuit of these Beast Devourers, Lin Ye seemed not to be flustered at all. With the support of the Flashing skill, these Beast Devourers simply couldn't catch up with Lin Ye.

If it weren't for needing to steal the skills from these creatures, Lin Ye would have just flashed several times and disappeared. No matter how persistent these Beast Devourers were, if they couldn't find their target, they would eventually have no choice but to give up.

"Only 5% progress..."

While flying ahead, Lin Ye checked his current learning progress. Seeing the number, he couldn't help but complain to himself.

It took him nearly half a day to go from one-thousandth to five percent!

These Beast Devourers do not constantly use the Devouring skill. According to Lin Ye's observations, these creatures prefer to use the Air Burst Technique to attack their targets.

This is normal because, in terms of Damage numbers alone, the Air Burst Technique certainly deals more than Devouring.

As for Lin Ye, he couldn't do anything about it. After all, he had no ability to force these not-so-smart demons to use a specific skill.

According to the instincts of these Beast Devourers, they actually only use Devouring after killing their target to split their prey. So in combat, the frequency of this skill usage is indeed not high.

Under such circumstances, Lin Ye had no better way other than finding more Beast Devourers to attack him.

"Fortunately, there's no time pressure."

Lin Ye glanced at the skill progress and then flashed again, putting more distance between himself and the Beast Devourers trailing him.

Let them chase slowly, while Lin Ye saw a special demon appearing on a broken piece of terrain.

"Giant Devouring Beast."

Lin Ye immediately recognized the demon. Although it was also a Beast Devourer, its height was nearly three meters, making it much taller than a strong and tall human warrior.

Compared to its counterparts the size of small dogs, the 'Giant' in Giant Devouring Beast is truly apt.

Besides its much larger size, the Giant Devouring Beast also had a transparent crystal on its head. Other than these two features, it had no other difference from a typical Beast Devourer.

There were quite a few Beast Devourers around this Giant Devouring Beast as well, so it was obviously the leader of these Beast Devourers.

"In addition to data like Life Value being thirty times that of regular Beast Devourers, it also possesses the skill Piercing Beam."

Lin Ye quickly glanced at the information on the Giant Devouring Beast, and indeed discovered a decent skill.

The Piercing Beam fires a beam that attacks all enemies in a straight line, and can be continuously released, sweeping across an area.

Although the destructive power is much lower than Lin Ye's Dimension Slash, the damage from Dimension Slash is overly strong for common demons or Professionals, akin to using a Dragon Slayer Saber to kill a chicken.

This Piercing Beam, however, has moderate damage and, more importantly, can be used both as a single-target and area skill, making it very flexible.

The key point is that this Space Skill is rarely unrestricted in terms of learning Profession.

So even if Lin Ye learned and used it outside, it would not appear out of place.

Of course, acquiring the skill book for this is no easy feat, with a drop rate in the million-to-one level, meaning once obtained, it might be an item with no teammates to claim.

The skill book for this skill could easily sell for over a hundred million on the outside market, but may not even be seen once in a decade.

"Great, I'll take it!"

Lin Ye was delighted, flashed directly to appear in front of the Giant Devouring Beast, and kicked it several meters away from its nap.

There was no choice; if he used skills, Lin Ye feared he might carelessly kill these small demons.

So he had to wake them up one footstep at a time.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Lin Ye's actions instantly enraged this batch of Beast Devourers, and they started hissing at him right away. As for the Giant Devouring Beast, it roared and unleashed its skill on Lin Ye.

A beam shot out from the crystal on its forehead and instantly hit Lin Ye.

[You have immunized the 'Piercing Beam' cast by the 'Giant Devouring Beast']

[Piercing Beam learning progress: 5%]

Looking at these prompts, Lin Ye was quite satisfied.

Although the learning progress is only 5%, it's much better than one-thousandth.
