134: Chapter 134 Encountering a Reclusive Master?

It was also at this time that the eight hunting ground managers reported on the situation of their respective hunting grounds in turn.

Most of the younger generation of the Si-generation had better assessment results than last year.

After all, a year had passed. Everyone had grown in both strength and experience compared to the last time.

Only a few were participating in the Winter Hunt for the first time, and their assessment results were not ideal.

Only the assessment situation of the No. 7 hunting ground left Pei Tianrong greatly astonished.

"You said Si Yao hunted a second-tier Sword-Tailed Bear, as well as ten first-tier exotic beasts. How is this possible?" Pei Tianrong's mouth hung open, and he said in disbelief.

He knew his own daughter's situation all too well. Since she was young, she had developed later than her peers, and her cultivation talent was only slightly better than that of his own eldest son.

How could she be so fierce!

"Family Head, it is absolutely true. I witnessed all of this with my own eyes. The pair of large hammers in Si Yao's hands were truly imposing; the first-tier exotic beasts were simply not a match for her in a single exchange. If not for the limitations of the arena, Si Yao's Winter Hunt results would definitely not have stopped there," Pei Tianhe explained.

"You mean, Si Yao wields large hammers and uses hammer techniques?" Pei Tianrong was even more confused.

He had never taught his daughter how to wield large hammers, and among the Family's Cultivation Techniques that used large hammers, the highest grade was only yellow-grade Early Stage.

Even if his daughter had secretly taught herself this technique and cultivated it to Perfection, it would be impossible to have such Divine Might.

To want to frontally defeat a second-tier exotic beast of the same realm at the Early Stage of Divine Power, especially a Sword-Tailed Bear known for its defense, one must have at least cultivated a yellow-grade middle-stage Cultivation Technique to Perfection, or a yellow-grade high-grade Cultivation Technique to Major Achievement.

Something is wrong!

Something is ten thousand times wrong!

He was perfectly clear about his daughter's whereabouts; she basically stayed in Wuyang all the time.

There was no possibility of a fortuitous encounter.

Not to mention, even if Pei Siyao had somehow obtained a hammer technique above yellow-grade middle stage, it would have been impossible for her to Cultivate it for so long under his nose without him knowing.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no concept of Possession in the Great Jing Dynasty, Pei Tianrong would really start to suspect that his daughter had been replaced.

"Yes, Si Yao's hammer technique has reached the pinnacle of Perfection. It would be impossible to practice to this degree without several years," seeing this expression, Pei Tianhe revealed a knowing look, but explained with his mouth anyway.

However, he had another thought in his heart.

Still pretending here.

Family Head, you hide things so deeply. If Si Yao had this kind of strength, she should have participated in the Winter Hunt long ago. Could it be that the Old Ancestor also came to the Winter Hunt, and she intentionally performed this way to cause a sensation?

Thinking of this, Pei Tianhe felt that the Family Head was very cunning.

In fact, Pei Tianrong also knew that what Pei Tianhe said was true.

It was just that the change in his daughter was too unbelievable.

In contrast, Pei Sili's performance made him want to grab him back and give him a beating.

Middle Stage of Divine Power, and he still had the nerve to be smug about this Winter Hunt result.

It seems this account is a waste.

Fortunately, there was a bottom line, and his daughter was capable.

However, he had to find a time to have a good talk with his daughter about how she suddenly knew how to wield large hammers.

An hour passed in a flash.

The second round of the exam ended.

The Winter Hunt results for the sixteen members of the Si-generation were all out.

Everyone was full of joy, looking forward to their performance this time.

Especially Pei Sili, who cleared his throat and was ready to speak. Every first-place winner of the Winter Hunt had to share their Winter Hunt experience.

Last year, he had given a speech once. He had already thought about what to say this time; he would just properly promote his archery.

However.

The first sentence Pei Tianrong said completely shattered his Dao Heart.

"The first place in this Winter Hunt is Pei Siyao, with a record of one second-tier exotic beast, the Sword-Tailed Bear, and ten first-tier exotic beasts. The second place in the Winter Hunt is Pei Sili, with a record of eight first-tier exotic beasts. The third place in the Winter Hunt is Pei Siwang, with a record of six first-tier exotic beasts. Those whose names are called, come over to receive your rewards."

After saying this, Pei Tianrong looked at the younger generation participating in the Winter Hunt.

The younger generation who did not make the list naturally had bitter faces, their full expectations turning to nothing.

Even the one thousand taels for third place was a significant reward for them. If they could get first place, it went without saying.

Of course, there were also some who had self-awareness and knew they would not make the list.

It was just that this list was different from what they had imagined.

Pei Sili was at the Middle Stage of Divine Power, the highest cultivation among those present, so it should have been a matter of course for him to take first place, but this time he took second place instead.

Then who was first?

At this moment, everyone realized that the first place was actually Pei Siyao.

She hunted a second-tier exotic beast in her first Winter Hunt.

This was simply too fierce.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned toward Pei Siyao on the side.

Pei Siyao did not avoid it and walked out of the crowd in a swaggering manner. Pei Sili followed closely behind, but he kept his head down the whole time, and the last one was Pei Siwang.

Even now, Pei Sili could not accept this fact.

He was actually not first.

The one who backstabbed him was his own younger sister, Pei Siyao.

Thinking of the words he had once said to Pei Siyao, Pei Sili only felt his face burning.

Unknowingly, his little sister had also become so black-bellied.

He couldn't beat his fiancée, he couldn't beat his brother-in-law.

Now he couldn't even beat his own little sister.

This world was too unfriendly to him.

Next, Pei Tianrong rewarded the three of them.

Only Pei Sili's reward was confiscated.

Pei Sili wanted to resist, but how could an arm twist a thigh?

Resistance was invalid.

The Winter Hunt ended.

Pei Tianrong also called Pei Siyao to the martial arts arena and had her perform the hammer technique once alone.

After watching Pei Siyao's performance, Pei Tianrong understood in his heart and asked shamelessly, "Si Yao, when did you start cultivating the hammer technique? Why haven't I seen you practice it before, Daddy?"

Hearing this, Pei Siyao said with a look of resentment, "Daddy only knows how to deal with Family affairs all day long and doesn't care about Si Yao at all. Si Yao has been cultivating the Storm-Quaking Art for three months already."

"Three months, this is too fast," Pei Tianrong whispered in his heart.

It was also at this time that he remembered that three months ago, Pei Siyao had asked him to forge large hammers, but he hadn't paid much attention to it at that time.

"It seems that Si Yao started cultivating the hammer technique at that time. But this Storm-Quaking Art is not a Family technique. And the grade is quite high, definitely no lower than yellow-grade peak. Could it be that some outsider expert he doesn't know secretly taught this technique to Si Yao?" Pei Tianrong speculated secretly in his heart.

Should he ask at this time?

It is said that outsider experts have bad tempers and do not want to reveal their identities.

What if after he asked, the outsider expert stopped teaching Si Yao? What should he do then?

How about asking the Old Ancestor?

The Old Ancestor is knowledgeable, perhaps he knows what is going on.

"Daddy was wrong. My Si Yao is the best. Daddy will take you to eat something delicious to apologize to you," Pei Tianrong said with a doting look.
