• Duan Donghe explained that the images represented the Rhino Emperor Game, a popular form of entertainment and a trial of comprehension in his civilization.

As they began the trial, the Human Race arranged accelerated time for Luo Feng’s Nether Sea Clone so he could study more quickly.

• Duan Donghe explained the Rhino Emperor Game’s positions, instructed the candidates to solve them in order, and warned that failing his minimum requirement would mean death.

• Yun He spent thirty thousand years in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space comprehending the Rhino Emperor Game’s first 123 positions and improving his understanding.
