"Position 3,000, perfectly solved!"
Yun He looked at the perfectly looping three-dimensional diagram on the stone pillar before him, a faint smile lifting his lips.
He had broken through the second bottleneck!
According to Duan Donghe, breaking through the first bottleneck meant meeting the minimum requirement and becoming an Outer Candidate.
The candidates were divided into four tiers.

Not long before, Luo Feng had taken the lead, solving 2,000 positions and breaking through the second bottleneck.
Luo Feng was a Universe Venerable, so his bottleneck requirements were different.
In other words, as long as Luo Feng solved position 4,000 and broke through the fourth bottleneck, he could directly become the inheritor.
"I've caught up." Yun He smiled and glanced at Luo Feng nearby.
He had caught up to Luo Feng. Both had now broken through the second bottleneck and stood at the same starting line again.
As time passed.
Inside the Tomb Ship.
The number of candidates who met the minimum requirement by breaking through the first bottleneck had entered a period of explosive growth.
Their numbers had exceeded a hundred and were still soaring.
In Yun He's 3,900th year of solving the positions, candidates began breaking through the first bottleneck even faster, before the pace gradually slowed.
From the 5,200th year onward, not a single additional candidate broke through the first bottleneck.
"Is this your limit?"
Duan Donghe shook his head and said indifferently, "Only 298 have broken through
