A year has passed in a flash, after a year of hard work in the Infernal Hell, Shi Jiu at this moment is not only more tall and mighty, but the color of his hair is no longer the unique red color of the Hu people in the Western Regions, and his eyes have also become a little dark, Shi Jiu of course understands that these evil souls attached to him are collapsing, and anyone who sees Shi Jiu now will think that he is a member of the Zhongzhou Empire.

Seeing that Shi Jiu's body was also undergoing tremendous changes while cultivating, Li Zheng teased him many times for this, he always laughed at whether Shi Jiu had taken the wrong medicine, how he had magically changed his appearance.

Shi Jiu rarely explained too much on this issue, he understood the truth that if you say more, you will lose, and everyone else naturally thinks that the changes in Shi Jiu's body are more or less related to pushing rocks every day, after all, very few people will perform such crazy and ignorant training, so everyone is not asking Shi Jiu too much about these strange changes.

As his cultivation progressed, Shi Jiu's appearance changed little by little, and the Great Compassion Heavenly Dragon Heart in his chest gradually adapted to the special environment of hell, and the Heavenly Dragon's heart beat more and more powerful and clear.

Shi Jiu knew that Demark had said that this heinous soul attached to him did not belong to him in the first place, so the time on his body would not be too long, Shi Jiu knew very well in his heart that he could hide it for a while, and he couldn't hide it for a lifetime, and it seemed that it was not far from being completely goofy.

The four people who cultivated at the same time, they watched Shi Jiu keep cultivating alone in the courtyard every day, especially the two stone balls that they never tired of refining, they had long lost the motivation to laugh at Shi Jiu, because in the past year, Shi Jiu was like this almost every day, and these people were not surprised.

Only Shi Jiu is tired of this, he has turned what was originally a boring exercise into a casual game, and his state of mind has become more and more mature and stable in the meditation day after day.

On this day, the cell boss came here at the same time with several jailers.

The cell leader never commented on the training methods implemented by the fighters, and he only smiled when he saw the two stone balls pushed by Shi Jiu rolling around.

The jailer called everyone together, and the cell boss said, "I have come today to bring good news and bad news!

？”

Wan Kai hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Just say the good, don't say the bad, no one wants to listen to them!"

"Hehe~!You're from here, I know you've guessed!" The cell boss laughed, "But I'll tell you both the news." The good news is that there will be a Contra tryout next month, and the bad news is that there are only five places that can participate in the tryout!"

Li Zheng said with a smile: "How do I feel that the two news just announced by the cell boss are both good news, don't you think?"

"Hehe~! That's right!" Zhao Qingshan and Sun Dahai said almost at the same time: "It's obviously good news, we think so too!"

Qian Le shook his head and said, "The five people mentioned by the cell boss may not be just a few of us. ”

"Haha~!This is bad news!" The cell boss laughed and said, "The five places are shared by all the cell bosses in our Infernal Hell Cell Section. ”

Shi Jiu asked, "Are there many cell bosses like you?"

"Not a lot!" the cell boss laughed, "more than a thousand." ”

Li Zheng couldn't laugh anymore, he muttered: "Alas~! No wonder the cell boss said it was bad news, which means that more than a thousand groups of guys like us are desperately competing for five places in the selection competition." ”

"As the saying goes, raising a soldier for a thousand days is a while!" The cell boss looked around and said: "I hope your hard training can bring rewards, anyway, I have already signed up for all of you, and when the time comes, you will all play well, as long as you get the ranking, there will be a reward!"

Wan Kai lowered his head and said nothing, the other group members, you look at me, I look at you for a while, I don't know what to do.

The cell boss yelled a few words and left, surrounded by several jailers.

After watching the cell boss leave, Shi Jiu asked the fighter: "The two things I heard from the cell boss are not good, why is he still so happy." ”

"As long as you participate in the competition, he will have a lot of Stygian coins, and if anyone wins the rankings or enters the tryouts, then his Stygian coins will become something more advanced!

Shi Jiu understood that as long as they participated in the competition, no matter whether they won or lost, the cell boss would make money, and the difference was that they won and earned

More of them, less of what they lose.

For the rest of these days of cultivation, Shi Jiu rolled two rocks that were already smooth and round to the wall, he re-selected two angular rocks and began to roll, and a day later, he picked another rock and added it to the courtyard.

Now, every day, he is a man who moves back and forth, pushing three rocks to run all over the yard, and the flat courtyard that has been pressed by the stone balls has become potholed again.

Over the course of a month, the three huge rocks had gradually worn away their edges and corners as he kept rolling, and the potholed ground had become flat again, and harder than before.

At the end of the month, the cell boss came over again with a few jailers, and they told the five cultivators to leave immediately, and the first round of the selection competition would start today.

Shi Jiu and his party followed behind the cell leader, walked a long distance, passed through one cell after another, and saw a place similar to the Hell Mansion in the middle of several cell areas, which was smaller than the Hell Mansion in appearance, but after they entered, they found that the space inside was really large, especially when they entered a competition field surrounded by all sides, and they really realized what it meant to be crowded.

Shi Jiu took a cursory look, the scene here was similar to what the Battle Star Tower looked like during the competition, but it was more than a thousand times larger than the scale of the Battle Star Tower.

The nine square tables arranged in the middle of the field should be prepared for the players of the competition, and there is no rope around each platform, and it seems that the definition of the result of the competition is the same as that of the Imperial Invitational Tournament, and the definition of victory or defeat is to hit the ring.

But when a bell-like voice rang, Shi Jiu knew that he was thinking wrong.

There are no rules in the world here, there is no need to draw lots, nor do you need to eliminate and upgrade step by step, but you can compete indefinitely, as long as you can stand on the stage, you have the right to continue the game.

The only person who can stop the game is the Prison Patrol of Infernal Hell, because he represents Hades and is the highest level of existence in each layer of Hell.
