Three full years have passed since Su Yú successfully broke through to the Golden Core Realm. This year is the twenty-sixth year of Chongning (1806 AD), and three years have elapsed since the war between the Shun Dynasty and Roshan. At this point, Su Yú is eighteen years old by traditional count, or seventeen by actual age.
