Chapter: 2836
When the He family heard that He Hongsheng had achieved a breakthrough in the fourth meridian, they were stunned for a moment, then erupted into wild cheers! Breaking through to the fourth meridian means He Hongsheng is now a four-star warrior. This title hasn’t been seen in China for almost a hundred years!
For the He family, this news was as thrilling as when China successfully developed its first atomic bomb. That achievement meant that the Chinese people no longer had to fear nuclear threats and could protect themselves. Now, with He Hongsheng’s breakthrough, it felt like the He family had their own atomic bomb!
Just minutes before, everyone had been worried about the future of the He family due to He Yingquan and the others. But now, those concerns vanished. The He family was on the brink of becoming the leading martial arts family in the country!
He Hongsheng’s youngest son, He Yingdong, was overjoyed. He exclaimed, “Dad! Did you go to the ancestral hall this morning to tell our ancestors about your breakthrough?”
He Hongsheng nodded and replied, “Yes, I just reported to all the ancestors in the ancestral hall. I believe they are proud of us.”
He Yingdong then said, “Dad, why didn’t you share this news sooner? If my older brother knew about your breakthrough, he might not have been swayed by the Su family’s offers.”
He Hongsheng responded calmly, “It’s probably for the best that I didn’t.”
“Announce it in advance, otherwise, how would I know about his ambitions!” After saying this, He Hongsheng sighed. “Well, everyone has their dreams. As long as he doesn’t threaten our He family’s interests, I won’t have any trouble with him in the future.”
He Yingdong understood his father’s reasoning and decided not to push the matter further.
He Hongsheng’s older brother, He Hongtai, asked, “Hongsheng, when will you announce your breakthrough to the fourth meridian?”
He Hongsheng thought for a moment and replied, “I will announce it now. I will let all martial artists know about it and declare that the He family will no longer accept any visitors or solicitations. Our family in Mocheng will be closed to guests from now on.”
In the martial arts world, there is an unwritten rule: when someone from a well-known family breaks through three or more meridians, it must be publicly announced. He Hongsheng knew he had to follow this tradition.
He was also aware that once people learned about his breakthrough, many would come to Mocheng to visit. Some would come to congratulate him, while others would seek to study under him. Families like the Su family would also come to make offers.
That’s why he decided to make it clear in advance that the He family would no longer entertain any visitors. This was his way of shutting out all those potential guests.
He Hongsheng had thought this through, understanding that the future of the He family depended on Ye Shaoye. Therefore, his priority was to support Master Ye wholeheartedly.
He Hongtai was confused and asked, “Hongsheng, in the past, when someone broke through the three meridians, many martial arts families would send gifts to celebrate. It was a big deal in our world. But if we close the door on this, won’t it look strange?”
He Hongsheng replied seriously, “Brother, I was able to achieve this major breakthrough thanks to a special person. The He family will benefit greatly from this person in the future, as they will provide us with valuable training resources. Trust me, this will help our entire family. In a few years, we might see another member of the He family break through the three meridians, or even someone like me break through to the four meridians. If that happens, the strength of our family will be transformed!”
