Five years ago, sprinting prodigy Cao Lie was banned from competition after being caught up in a doping scandal that had no basis in fact. His past glories vanished overnight. His first love, Xiao Yuwei, left him without hesitation at his lowest point, then became a hotshot commentator in sports media, repeatedly bashing Cao Lie on camera as an “ordinary talent” and a man of “questionable character,” claiming to be an “insider.” After that, Cao Lie opened a sporting-goods shop in a small town and kept to himself.
Then, on a stormy night, a strange bolt of lightning struck an old heart-rate monitor in his storeroom. Cao Lie discovered that he could see “Pacing Cores”: everyone's cadence, stride length, and peak burst point appeared before his eyes as lines of transparent data. Even more absurdly, the System simulated an “ideal push-off point” trajectory inside his body. If he stepped on that point, his gait would automatically enter “unbeatable mode,” ignoring muscle fatigue and delivering an absolute burst of power through quantum-level force transfer alone.
Just as he decided to make a comeback, Xiao Yuwei suddenly returned to town with a variety show called “The King's Return,” demanding to interview the “downfall of her ex-boyfriend.” Everyone was waiting for Cao Lie to make a fool of himself on camera. No one knew that this was the opportunity he'd been waiting for.
Good and evil are never easy to distinguish. In everyone's eyes, he's a good-for-nothing, but on the track, he's the only hunter.
