The snowball was replaced by a flying locust stone, in addition to the fact that the texture is harder, the flight speed is faster, and it is more painful and easier to cause damage when hitting people, in Jiang Ning's opinion, from the perspective of the use of time rules, there is not much difference between the two.

However, when it really happened, Jiang Ning knew that the difference was big.

The first locust stone also came from the front, and he couldn't stop it either.

This time, it sounded simply the sound of bone cracking.

The last time a snowball hit him in the face, it just knocked out his nosebleed.

But this time, the locust stone smashed into his face, and it directly broke the bridge of his nose.

Jiang Ning had to withdraw from the attack range of the time gear first, return to the small world, use the power of the rules of the original world to repair his body, and after connecting the bridge of his nose, he came back again, looking at the bloodstained flying locust stone that fell on the ground with a calm face.

Just now, he clearly sensed the strength of the power of time in the flying locust stone, and also judged the time and speed of the power activation, as well as the location where the stone would appear in the end, but the Immersion Silver Long Sword once again missed.

Fortunately, with the last experience, Jiang Ning had already figured out the reason for his mistake when he was healing in the small world.

Snowballs and locust stones are indeed not the same.

Between them, not only are the materials different, but also the amount of time power is also different.

Of course, these are not the key to Jiang Ning's trick.

The reason why he was hit by the flying locust stone was because the power of time that existed in the flying locust stone did not work in the same way as a snowball.

After the power on the snowball is triggered, the power of time stop is applied to Jiang Ning's body, and as a price, the speed of time above the snowball itself will increase, and the speed of flight will naturally increase, it looks like the snowball is flying too fast, and Jiang Ning has no time to block, and in the end, the two collide together.

But the Flying Locust Stone is different.

After the power of time is triggered, the power of time stop acts on the flying locust stone's own body, and the reaction force, that is, the side effect of time acceleration, falls on Jiang Ning's body, so that the flying locust stone is actually stopped in mid-air because of the effect of time stopping, and Jiang Ning, who subconsciously blocked it, because he wants to attack the flying locust stone, his body must be in a forward posture, so that under the acceleration of time, his body drives forward excessively, and it looks like he ran forward and hit the flying locust stone.

After thinking about this truth, the strategy against the locust stone is actually much easier than fending off the snowball.

As long as you forcibly suppress the instinct to resist when the flying locust stone smashes towards you, after the time power disappears, the flying locust stone will return to its original speed and smash towards you, and there will be no problem as long as you block normally.

The hardest part, in fact, was that when he saw that the locust was about to hit his face, he suppressed the desire to resist and stood still.

And for Jiang Ning, whether it is blocking the hidden weapon under normal circumstances, or suppressing his instinct, it is not a difficult thing.

Therefore, the third and fourth waves of flying locust stones, although the speed continued to increase, and the power of time contained more, Jiang Ning was not injured again.

However, the underground palace master's test for Jiang Ning is far from over.

Soon, the flying locust stones that flew towards Jiang Ning were mixed with some that did not contain any time power, and smashed them together with those flying locust stones that contained the power of time.

The power of time will inevitably be triggered within a certain range, if Jiang Ning does not move, then those flying locust stones that do not contain the power of time and can fly normally will smash on Jiang Ning's body.

But if he made a move to block, the movements of his body would inevitably change due to the acceleration of time, not only would he not be able to resist those flying locust stones at normal speed, but even those flying locust stones that could be resisted would also fall on his body. Even, as long as those flying locust stones containing the power of time attacked Jiang Ning together, there was a small time difference in the middle, and he had to resist when the power of time acted on him, then the result was obvious.

Even Jiang Ning's kind of good and somewhat perverted physique, after being smashed one after another, was a little unbearable, and had to withdraw again and return to the small world to repair his body.

"What should I do?" Jiang Ning sat on the ground, looking up at the gears that were still slowly turning, and his eyes were a little confused.

But, soon he thought of a way to deal with it again.

The power of time stop has a trigger distance, if he makes a prediction and strikes in advance when all the flying locust stones have not yet been triggered, then when the power of time is activated, he just needs to wait quietly in place.

However, this kind of counterattack requires a very high level of the cultivator's ability to predict, and second, if the locust stones containing the power of time and stopping continue to fly over one after another, then the process of prediction will become very difficult.

Because, when you block the locust stone in front of you, it is likely that the locust stone behind you has already entered the range of the time-stop trigger, and when the attack becomes endless, there will always be a moment when you still have to do it within the range of the time force trigger.

Jiang Ning lifted the Shen Yin long sword in his hand, slowly rubbed his fingers on the sword body, and said to himself: "Fortunately, these flying locust stones are just shooting from the direction of the gears, if they attack from all directions, I will really be helpless!"

Lifting the long sword and walking into the attack range of the gear at that time, Jiang Ning's sword light was like rain, and the power of the wind turned into tentacles to block in front of those flying locust stones in advance, and after a while, a round of flying locust stones mixed with different forces fell to the ground.

As he had guessed, the next attack would be a continuous, mixed with different forces, but fortunately, he had been prepared, although he could not completely resist it if he stayed in place, but he could retreat.

When the power of time acceleration is applied to you, choosing to retreat will make the retreat faster, and the same is true when the power of time is exhausted before you can resist it.

Jiang Ning did exactly that, and the results of the incident also proved that what he did was right.

However, as Jiang Ning thought before, if it weren't for the time gear's attacks that were always launched from one direction, he might not be able to break through this level.

After clearing the level, the scattered locust stones gradually disappeared, turning into points of light and returning to the spinning gears.

However, in every flying locust stone, there was also a trace of light that left the bright light flow, and flew in the opposite direction instead, merging into Jiang Ning's body.

A person's cultivation talent is not easy to change, Jiang Ning's talent above time is indeed poor.

However, the soaking of the purest and most original power of time is no longer Jiang Ning's talent in time.

The power of time is directly integrated into the body, which is equivalent to putting the power into Jiang Ning's hands first, so that he can use it, and in the days that follow, he will naturally have a lot of time to study how this power is constituted and how to use it to exert the greatest effect.

And these are Jiang Ning's strengths.

Although the ontological realm is only the peak of the Heavenly Pattern, but the true realm and strength are already considered Dao and level, Jiang Ning knows very well that after he returns to the Tianhe this time, his strength will definitely usher in a series of breakthroughs, and when the time comes, the true yuan, physical strength, bloodline, and the bonuses above the Yuan Shen that he should have will come to a huge leap in strength because of the baptism of the Heavenly Dao brought by successive breakthroughs.

At that time, he was now able to compete with the power of the Yuan Shen at the peak of the Tianwen Pattern and even the Dao and early stage masters, and even ushered in a big qualitative change, even if he directly entered the level of the True One Immortal, Jiang Ning would not feel the slightest surprise.

After all, over the years, in the eighteen-story small tower, Jiang Ning's Yuan Shen has never stopped tempering for a moment.

Now, his Yuan Shen can already wander freely above the sixth layer of the small tower without feeling too much pressure to bear, even if it is the seventh and eighth layers, he can stay for a while, plus the tempering effect of the Shenmu Visualization Diagram on the Yuan Shen, as well as Jiang Ning's self-transformed Yuan Shen cultivation method after observing the end of the Star Sea, the three-pronged approach, just because the physical realm is too low before the breakthrough, and the soul body is interdependent, so that the Yuan Shen realm cannot break through, otherwise, even if he only comes from the peak of the Heavenly Pattern to the early stage of the Divine Elephant, the power of the Yuan Shen will immediately break through to the realm of Daohe。

Of course, although there is no breakthrough in the Yuan Shen now, it does not mean that his efforts are all in vain, those things are his accumulation and heritage, once there is a suitable opportunity, those hidden power in the body will be released without reservation, soaring into the sky, no one can stop it.

Now with the peak strength of the string movement of the Yuan Shen, it may be a little difficult to analyze the power of time in the body, but when he returns to the Tianhe, his strength has skyrocketed and he has jumped into the Dao He, and he understands that the power of the Tao of Time has become a real Yuan Shen strength, rather than relying solely on that ethereal talent, when the time comes, no matter how bad Jiang Ning's cultivation in the Tao of Time is, he will definitely get started step by step, and successfully cultivate this power step by step.

This process seems to be a bit of putting the cart before the horse, but for people with poor talents, learning the skills first, and then constantly refining and using, and deducing the process step by step with the results, it is also a very effective choice, such a scene is actually very common in the cultivation world, Jiang Ning naturally knows the intention of the owner of the underground palace.

The little time power obtained by breaking the snowball at the beginning is just an existence that can help Jiang Ning perceive the time power in other objects with the help of the induction between the same source forces, and if you want to use it, the amount is still too small after all.

However, after breaking the flying locust stone this time, Jiang Ning got much more time power, at least, at this time, he can not only clearly feel the change in the speed of time, but also take the initiative to manipulate a trace of time power to fall on the target, although these forces are not much, but in the process of the master's competition, as long as the opponent's shooting speed is slightly slower for a moment, or his own shooting speed is slightly faster, at that time, the outcome of the victory or defeat is likely to be rewritten.

The trial in the garden, even if it stops here, for Jiang Ning, he is satisfied.

Although Jiang Ning was already very content, the time gear's trial for him was far from over.

It was only a quarter of an hour after the actinization of the flying locust stone disappeared, and Jiang Ning's face showed a depressed look.

Under the white light, strange-shaped, never-before-seen creatures appeared in front of him, and before he could react, they instantly formed an encirclement, quickly closed, and blocked him in the middle.

In terms of momentum alone, those monsters were no less than those strange fish in the lotus pond in the East Garden before.

Moreover, looking at the knotted muscles, the hideous look, as well as the steady footsteps, and the agile movements, the strength is only far stronger than those strange fish in the lake that can transform.

"With such strength, I'm afraid it's already the pinnacle of second-order demon beasts, right?" Jiang Ning said in his heart.

Ordinary second-order demon beasts, although he can easily deal with them in a one-on-one situation, but if the strength of that demon beast has reached the strength of the peak of the second-order demon beast, then just dealing with one is very tricky, and in front of Jiang Ning, there are no less than ten monsters with different shapes, and even races may be different, how strong are their specific strengths, what means they have, where are their weaknesses, and what are their habits, Jiang Ning doesn't know anything, even if it is one-on-one, it is not necessarily easier to deal with than facing the familiar third-order demon beasts。

Jiang Ning thought so, and those monsters had already pounced.

Everyone has the blessing of the power of time, and whoever uses it faster should have a greater chance of winning, Jiang Ning wanted to release a trace of time power to interfere with the actions of those monsters, but found that after his power fell on the bodies of those monsters, the mud cow fell into the sea, and there was no effect at all.

In the world, there is absolutely no object that is not affected by the force of time, and even if it exists, since it has no time, it will not change, and it is completely meaningless.

Therefore, Jiang Ning knew that these monsters were not completely unaffected by their own time power, but they had quite good resistance to this unnaturally occurring time power.

However, they have, and now they have it, after all, the power of time in their bodies is not much compared to some monsters, if they also know how to use the power of time to attack, then they can also borrow the power of time to deal with it accordingly.

"This third game, it turned out to be for me to exercise how to use the power of time!" Jiang Ning said in his heart.

He did guess the meaning of the original owner of this underground palace, and after getting the power of time, how to apply it is also a difficult problem, then, at this moment, if there are some masters who can use the power of time to come to sparring, it is undoubtedly the best choice.

What followed was an uphill battle.

To put it simply, Jiang Ning did his best, used all the powerful moves he had learned from before to now, hung up his whole body, and then successfully killed those time monsters, absorbed the power of time they possessed, and then returned to the small world, repaired his injuries, picked two pears and ate them by the way, and then returned to the garden, sitting cross-legged on the ground to rest.

"At this moment, shouldn't an old grandfather's remnant soul jump out and tell me, 'Congratulations on clearing the level, now, I'll pass on all my life to you about the power of time, don't shirk, little brother!'

What responded to Jiang Ning was the rattling sound of those gears in the sky rubbing against each other.

Fortunately, the owner of the underground palace was not completely unprepared for this.

At least, Jiang Ning's idea that 'after passing the test, there should be a certain reward' also exists in the underground palace master.

After the gear, a light curtain turned into a mist and slowly dissipated, and behind the light curtain, the true appearance of Zhiyuan was displayed in front of Jiang Ning.

The lake pond on the side that is very similar to the East Garden is real, but directly behind the gears, it is not a rockery and a vacant land, but a medicine field that covers a fairly large area!

In an instant, Jiang Ning understood everything.

From the very beginning of his contact with those snowballs, he felt that the so-called power of time should be in a state of equilibrium at all times, which is why after those time-stopping forces are activated, the power of time acceleration will also act on another object at the same time.

Then, before he entered the garden, the gears were clearly spinning all the time.

In the past few hundred years, thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years ago, the force of the gear has been acting on the front yard, which is why when I walked into the front yard, I found that everything in the yard looked very new, not like the floor tiles in the front yard at all, it looked like it was full of traces of history.

Then, since the power of time stopping has always acted on the first half of the garden, then correspondingly, the acceleration force used to balance this part of the force should also have receptors in this garden.

It's just that before, Jiang Ning was blocked by the snowball, flying locust stones and monsters, and he couldn't go around the gears to get to the inside of the garden, so he always thought that what he saw was real, but those scenes didn't seem to be like they would appear under the effect of time acceleration, so he always thought that he had misunderstood.

However, now that the illusion has dissipated and the truth has appeared, Jiang Ning has sighed at the cleverness of the owner of this underground palace.

Yes, the power of time stop is used in the courtyard, as far as possible to prolong the order of the underground palace building, on the contrary, the time acceleration of the reaction force is used in the medicine field behind, those precious medicinal materials, cherished spiritual plants, after the catalysis of the power of time, can have a longer year in a short period of time, and the growth is naturally much faster.

Now, since the time gear has let go of the obstacle, it naturally means that he can go in and pick it casually, Jiang Ning's heart is extremely excited!
