Early the next morning, Anonymous appeared in front of Zuo Ci who was having breakfast without any surprises, and announced today's plan unceremoniously: "It's been an easy and simple day, are you ready for a bigger challenge? Waiting for you After breakfast, I will take you there immediately to learn the technique of shadow escape."
Zuo Ci continued to eat his food with a blank face, expressing his acceptance of the black-clothed swordsman's proposal...

After breakfast, the two walked out of the hotel door one after the other, and walked into the British fog permeating the steel fortress. Zuo Ci started to follow the black-clothed swordsman silently again.
After running around and working all day yesterday, Zuo Ci had a basic understanding of the terrain of the Steel Fortress, so after following a few steps, he knew that Anonymous was going to take him to the military area. Over the wall, ran to the clock tower, passed through the strange time and space with floating parts from the top, and finally the two came to the forest in the Brown Castle area again.
At this time, Zuo Ci began to understand why Anonymous said so confidently at the beginning, [Without my help, with your current ability, it may take more than half a year to achieve it...]——Brown Castle, which is so secretive, is not enough. Enough for him to search for the entrance for a while, not to mention the characters hidden in it.
Soon, Zuo Ci, led by Wu Mingshi, came to the forest guard's hut again.
Pushing open the door made of iron, the old man was sitting by the fireplace reading a book. He was not surprised to see two people coming in, but asked, "Both benefactors, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Of course, this little brother wants to learn the technique of shadow escape, so I will trouble you." The nameless said as he stepped aside, fully exposing Zuo Ci to the light in the room.

[It turns out that the old man is also a trainer. ] Zuo Ci was not surprised, he thought about this fact in his heart, and then continued: "Yes, I need to learn the technique of shadow escape."
"The technique of shadow escape is a secret technique handed down in my family, and I don't like to pass it on to others. When the Fengchu Independence Army failed in the uprising, I was captured by the iron lord, and all the kung fu in my body was exhausted. Inside my body, it has become my unknown secret. How did you know this secret? It's really weird..." The old man murmured with surprise on his face.
Zuo Ci immediately took a look at Wu Ming who was standing aside and still had a smile on his face.
Anonymous said at this time: "We have done two tasks for you in a row before, and we know most of your secrets. Now it is not too much to accept him as an apprentice and teach secret arts. We will not give you a penny of the reward. Miss you." Then, he handed over 10 gold coins.
The old man nodded, and immediately agreed with Wu Mingshi's words, then put away the gold coin that Wu Mingshi handed over, walked up to Zuo Ci and said: "In this case, let's start."
At the same time when Zuo Ci said "uh" as an answer, Elder Wang Lin had already pressed the palm of his right hand to his forehead.
Zuo Ci closed his eyes reflexively, a warm current rushed through every cell in his body, and the world instantly switched to a place like a martial arts field with interlaced phoenix pattern stone pillars.

Before Zuo Ci had time to observe the terrain, the old man said, "Shadow Escape is one of the most practical skills for professional adventurers of thieves and assassins, it allows you to instantly move between the shadows of people or things In , as long as there is a shadow at a fixed distance within the line of sight, you can teleport. The initial perception range is only ten meters. As your proficiency grows, the range you can perceive teleportation will become larger and larger, perhaps It can reach 50 meters, 100 meters, or even thousands of meters."
Zuo Ci nodded as a promise.
So, the old man continued: "The most important thing in learning and training the technique of shadow escape is talent. Observation and action are part of talent. Look at the stone pillars around here, and the shadows under each pillar are for you to shelter in." When you need to activate this technique, besides reciting the mantra silently, you must concentrate and put all your mental power on the point you want to teleport to instantly, so that all the cells in your body will be broken into powder, Merging into the air, transforming into the invisible... Well, I will demonstrate it now."
After finishing speaking, the old man put the middle finger and index finger of his right hand together and put them between his lips. Circles of black mantras immediately emerged from his mouth, wrapped around his fingertips, and finally disappeared all of a sudden. Everything happened in one place. In seconds, the old man turned into a black shadow and disappeared instantly, but his voice suddenly came from behind Zuo Ci.
Zuo Ci turned around, and saw the old man appearing in the shadow of the pillar behind him.
"The mantra I need to teach you has already existed in your brain and integrated into your body the moment you entered this training world. You just need to release it according to the way I demonstrated, and move to the selected place with full concentration. A fixed shadow area. Remember that every transfer needs to repeat this process. If you need to move continuously, you need extremely high responsiveness and instant planning skills. All of these need time to practice."
"Understood." Zuo Ci replied lightly, closed his eyes, and began to meditate to guide the incantation that had been incorporated into the blood when he entered it. Sure enough, black incantation wheels wrapped around him tightly in his mind.
He frowned to digest it, and when he opened his eyes, he had already selected the shadow of the stone pillar at three o'clock. The right finger was already standing in the center of the lips to draw out the dark spell that lingered in his heart. There was almost no obstacle, and the unsmiling man turned into a black shadow.
