When the members of the Harker family heard the news that Holden had broken through his fourth meridian, everyone was stunned for a moment. Immediately after that, a burst of crazy cheers erupted!
Breaking through four meridians would mean that Holden had become a four-star martial artist!
Throughout Oskia, the 'four-star martial artist' title had not appeared in nearly a hundred years! 2
To them, hearing this news was as exciting and overwhelming as when the people in Oskia had heard the news of the successful first atomic bomb explosion. 2
Back then, Oskia had successfully developed the atomic bomb, and this meant that the citizens of Oskia would no longer be facing nuclear threats from other nuclear-armed countries anymore. At the same time, they possessed a strong ability to defend themselves. 3
Now that Holden had successfully broken through his fourth meridian, this was almost equivalent to the Harker family owning an atomic bomb!
Just a few minutes ago, everyone present had still been worried about the fate and future of the Harker family because of the departure of Yuvin and the others. 3
But now, they were no longer thinking about the problem regarding Yuvin at all.
This was because from now onward, the Harker family would have already taken a big step forward as they advanced to become the top martial arts family i n the country!
Holden’s youngest son, Yuroy, was extremely excited, and he blurted out, "Dad! Is the reason why you ran to the ancestral hall early in the morning because you wanted to report your breakthrough to our ancestors?"
Holden nodded. "That’s right. I've already reported to all the ancestors of the Harker family at the ancestral hall just now. I believe that the ancestors of the
Harker family will also be proud of the Harker family when they find out about it on the other side."
Yuroy could not help but say emotionally, "Dad, why didn't you make this announcement earlier? If Eldest Brother knew that you've already made such a major breakthrough, he would probably not have been tempted by the conditions offered by the Schulz family."
Holden replied indifferently, "Fortunately, I did not announce it in advance. Otherwise, how could I possibly have known of his ill ambitions?!”
This was why he had asked them to state everything clearly in advance to show that the Harker family would no longer be accepting any solicitations, and they would not be receiving and entertaining any guests.
This was equivalent to turning away all of the possible guests above.
The reason why Holden had made this decision was because he had thought about it clearly in his heart. In fact, the future of the Harker family was already resting entirely on Young Master Wade.
So, the most important thing for Holden was to serve Young Master Wade with all of his heart and might. A s for everyone else, Holden felt that there was absolutely no need for him or the Harker family to waste their energy and efforts on them anymore.
Holson was very puzzled when he heard this. He could not help but ask, "Holden, in the past, when someone broke through three meridians, almost all of the martial arts families would send people here to deliver their congratulatory gifts. Amongst the martial arts practitioners, you'd naturally be in the limelight for quite some time too. Wouldn’t it be a little too strange and unconventional for us to be closing our doors at this time?"
Holden said seriously, "Eldest Brother, the reason I was able to achieve such a significant breakthrough was all thanks to the help of a noble person. All of the members of the Harker family will also be looking up t o and serving this noble person in the future.
Moreover, moving forward, this noble person will also be giving the Harker family a lot of very rare cultivation resources. Believe me. The entire Harker family will definitely benefit from this. Perhaps in a few years, there will be another person who will breakthrough three meridians in the Harker family, and perhaps in a few more years, there will also be another person who will be able to breakthrough four meridians, just like me! At that time, the strength of the Harker family will be entirely different as compared to how it is today!" 7
