Ning Chuan asked Master Lou to explain the ranks of several martial arts and learned that his Ultimate Weapon Art was a diminished version of the Supreme Ultimate Weapon Art, the Supreme Divine Hall’s guardian martial art. The current art barely contained a Second-Grade Law, but Ning Chuan’s ten thousand Divine Weapons gave it Marquis-Bestowing power and the potential to reach King-Bestowing rank.

• Ning Chuan sent all ten thousand of his Divine Weapons into the gourds, where the tree began tempering them far more efficiently than divine metal liquid.
