"Yuhao! Did you hear? That little girl at the tournament, the one named Lin Xue'er—she was actually a peak Rank 59 Soul King! And she was only seven!"
The moment Xu Sanshi returned, he shouted at Huo Yuhao.

Then, during this period, the Snow Maiden rose another rank to Rank 59...
In other words, over the entire year, the Snow Maiden had really only
