2025: the dawn of Chinese eight-ball.
The Duyate Tour burst onto the scene, driving Chinese eight-ball prize money all the way up to the staggering sum of two million.
From then on, the Sapphire arena became the highest honor all Chinese players dreamed of claiming.
The lights came up for the final of the Third Duyate Legends Nine-Ball Masters.
For the first time, the Sapphire lights shone on an unknown amateur.
One step to heaven, one step to hell. The throne was within reach, yet the regret would last a lifetime.
Then, he awoke from a dream and found himself back in 2020.
Nine-ball had yet to take off, Duyate had yet to emerge, and the professional scene was set in stone.
And he was just Xue Qi, a young man in a small county town, at everyone’s mercy.
Reborn with five years of memories from the circuit, the experience of countless decisive victories, and a heart-rending regret,
he lies low for five years, all for the chance to return to those Sapphire lights.
This time,
he’ll rise from humble beginnings, crush every rival, and claim the summit of nine-ball!
