Gu Chen's eyes flickered slightly as he summoned the panel.

At this moment, there were nearly five hundred merit points on his panel, all of which Gu Chen had obtained in exchange for his achievements.

After the battle in Yan State, he had defended Yulong City and made great contributions. The court had conferred upon him the title of Marquis of Military Peace, and the Jing Tian Department had rewarded him with corresponding merits.

This time, Gu Chen didn't exchange his merits for martial arts or techniques; instead, he had converted all his merits into soul crystals, even making the minor officials of the merit hall look at him oddly.

It was rare for someone to exchange hundreds of merits solely for soul crystals like Gu Chen did.

Soul crystals are the remnants of demon ghosts after their deaths, useful for alchemy and tool refinement, and can even assist martial artists in cultivating certain special techniques; their applications are quite broad. However, Gu Chen exchanged such a large amount that the minor official couldn't help but be suspicious.

Now, urgently needing to strengthen his abilities, Gu Chen had no choice but to do so. Even if the minor official was suspicious, Gu Chen wasn't worried. If word got out, he simply had to claim they were needed for his practice.

After all, within the Jing Tian Department, there were quite a few people who had a demand for soul crystals just like him.

"It's fortunate that the Jing Tian Department has been accumulating a sufficient reserve of soul crystals over the past three hundred years; otherwise, so many merits wouldn't be of great use to me."

The nearly five hundred points of merit value could significantly elevate Gu Chen's strength, propelling him to new heights.

Gu Chen's gaze fell upon the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Technique and Pure Yang True Body, these two Superior Body Training Martial Skills. Noticing the words 'can be deduced' afterward, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

He knew that this deduction would definitely result in the birth of an Earthly Martial Skill.

Having deeply experienced the divinity of the Earth-grade Great Sun Divine Illumination True Classic, Gu Chen anticipated what extent an Earth-grade Body-refining Martial Skill could improve his physical body.

Gu Chen was very much looking forward to it.

"Panel, deduce!"

The next moment, as Gu Chen's thought flickered, the wording on the panel representing the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Technique and Pure Yang True Body became somewhat blurry.

Simultaneously, a vast amount of martial knowledge emerged in Gu Chen's mind, and he fell into a state of sudden enlightenment. His mind flourished with countless insights, and his understanding of martial arts grew rapidly.

The flaws of the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Technique and Pure Yang True Body were eliminated, their strengths merged, and the chaff was sifted from the wheat. The continuous deduction soon led to a new and more powerful martial art forming in Gu Chen's mind.

And the martial art that inherited all the advantages of the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Technique and Pure Yang True Body, and was deduced and integrated, was named—Pure Yang Vajra Body!

"As expected, I have deduced an Earth-grade martial skill." Gu Chen, feeling the information about the Pure Yang Vajra Body in his mind, confirmed the relevant grade of this martial art.

The amount of merit points consumed by this deduction also left Gu Chen somewhat astonished.

With the appearance of the Pure Yang Vajra Body, the merit points on the panel had decreased by a full hundred points!

This was more than what it took to raise a Superior Martial Skill from major success to complete mastery!

"Deducing a Superior Martial Skill only requires forty merit points, but an Earth-grade Martial Skill needs a hundred. Indeed, the difference between the two is vast and incomparable by ordinary standards."

An Earth-grade Martial Skill can only be initially understood by Innate Realm martial grandmasters, and the might of some powerful Earth-grade skills, if brought to their utmost limit, is not far from being able to destroy heavens and obliterate earth.

Of course, only Innate Realm martial grandmasters, or even top grandmasters in the Divine Passage Realm, can truly unleash the power of Earth-grade Martial Skills.

Those martial artists below the grandmaster level cannot even begin to comprehend Earth-grade skills, let alone gain a slight glimpse, for they are too profound.

Only Gu Chen, whose comprehension of martial arts far exceeded those of his rank, aided by the panel, possessed substantial advantages in this aspect.

"Even the top forces might not possess many Earth-grade martial skills, and Heavenly Martial Skills are even fewer. Some forces don't have them, as Heavenly Martial Skills are encountered by chance and cannot be sought. Earth-grade martial skills are already the pinnacle."

Gu Chen reflected that, with the panel, whether it was martial arts or techniques, he lacked nothing. Even with only low-grade skills, as long as he had a continuous supply of merit points, he could forcefully compile Earth-grade, or even Heavenly Martial Skills.

It wasn't impossible for him to find teachings that were elusive throughout the Nine Provinces.

Now, with the Nine Provinces in chaos and more demon ghosts flooding into the region, it might be a bad sign for others, but not necessarily for Gu Chen.

He rather hoped for more demonic martial practitioners or demon ghosts to come knocking, allowing him to continuously improve his strength.

"Next, let me see what wonders this Earth-grade body-refining martial art holds and whether it can allow me to undergo blood transfusion and marrow cleansing once again."

Gu Chen eyed the newly obtained Pure Yang Vajra Body on the panel. As his thoughts moved, fifty-six merit points vanished in an instant.
