Sports: My Dad Becomes a Legend, and Everyone Makes Way for Me

On the track and field circuit of a parallel present-day China, young prodigies train relentlessly, pouring money and energy into competing for places on provincial teams and the national youth team. The selection process is riddled with favoritism and bias. High schooler Jiang Chen has always kept a low profile and focused on his studies, never taking part in sprint training. Nobody knows that his father is a legendary sprinter who reached the top of Asia and won Olympic honors, or that coaches and senior sports officials across the circuit are his father’s old friends. At the school trials, the star of the track team mocks Jiang Chen in front of everyone, certain he’s an amateur who’s only there to make up the numbers. He even offers to go easy on him. Forced onto the track, Jiang Chen gives it his all without a second thought, shattering the school record and crushing his opponent. From then on, city sports schools compete to recruit him, and prodigies from everywhere show up to challenge him. With world-class athletic genes and connections at the highest levels, he sweeps the provincial and city competitions, defeats the strongest rivals overseas, and rises all the way to the Olympic summit, dominating the entire world of sports with carefree confidence.
