While Ban Ye Shu and June Flying Snow discussed which team would achieve the third clear of the Nightmare Mode Demon God, Ye Luo paused the lottery draw and began checking which skills had advanced. However, he was soon disappointed. Once again, only a few minor skills had been strengthened. Still, they could improve his strength to some extent, which was better than nothing.
Of course, what Ye Luo looked forward to most was seeing which National Weapon had advanced. Naturally, he hoped that High-Grade National Weapons such as Thousand Machine Crossbow and Heavenly Tribulation*Destruction would advance, because advancing them once would turn them into Nation Suppressing National Weapons. That would undoubtedly raise his equipment level by the greatest margin. Yet he was disappointed again, because it was Heavenly Mechanism*Protection that had advanced.
Heavenly Mechanism*Protection was a Low-Grade National Weapon. Even after advancing by one grade, it was merely a Mid-Grade National Weapon, so the boost to his strength was not particularly great. It could not compare to the improvement brought by High-Grade National Weapons such as Heavenly Tribulation*Destruction advancing into Nation Suppressing National Weapons. Still, advancing was better than not advancing, so he quickly accepted it:
