Shi Tiexin met Sister Mengmeng, a warm and approachable new instructor whose appearance matched someone he remembered as a Zhonghua Bank lobby manager in another Worldline. After she denied ever working at the bank, she announced intensive training for the class the next day, leaving Shi Tiexin unsure whether she was truly the same person.

• Sister Mengmeng introduced herself to the Special Advancement Class, and her friendly manner quickly restored the students’ lively classroom atmosphere.

• After school, Shi Tiexin went to Zhonghua Bank and asked a guide whether Sister Mengmeng was there, but the guide did not know which Sister Mengmeng he meant.

• Shi Tiexin left the bank convinced he had not misremembered and wondering whether the world itself had forgotten Sister Mengmeng.

• Shi Yuhui showed Shi Tiexin footage in which an unknown client manager handled his loan instead of Big-eyed Sister.
• Shi Tiexin watched the footage and exclaimed that it could not be the real past.

Shi Tiexin learned that Sister Mengmeng’s existence had vanished from the surveillance footage, and Shi Yuhui investigated her to determine whether his senses had been manipulated. Shi Yuhui found that Mengmeng was real but remained baffled that Shi Tiexin remembered someone whose traces had been erased.

• Shi Tiexin showed Shi Yuhui footage that contained no sign of Sister Mengmeng, though he remembered meeting her.
• Shi Yuhui explained that a powerful Mind System expert might have altered Shi Tiexin’s perceptions, but she also raised the possibility of Inverted Causality and Distorted Reality.
• Shi Yuhui left to investigate Sister Mengmeng, while Shi Tiexin waited anxiously for her return.
• Shi Yuhui returned and said her perceptions matched Shi Tiexin’s, and that Mengmeng seemed to be a capable, responsible teacher who did not know about the abnormalities.

• Big Sister performed Broadcast Gymnastics, using its movements to overcome demanding obstacles and overpower heavy equipment, targets, and combat automatons.
• Big Sister told the students to complete the warm-up three times a day and warned that anyone unable to meet the training baseline would be eliminated.

• Shi Tiexin noticed Sister Mengmeng's skill as a coach and began tempering his physique according to the first layer of Overlord Eastern Extreme Force.

Shi Tiexin completed his first layer of body refinement during Big-eyed Sister’s punishing training, then perfected the second layer of Overlord Eastern Extreme Force and began refining his muscles and tendons. He left training ravenous and hurried to eat, needing more essence energy to sustain his rapid strengthening.

• Big-eyed Sister drove the trainees through an exhausting session, and Shi Tiexin finished filling his body with Pink Mist, activating Rigid Body +1 and improving his strength, stamina, and toughness.

• Shi Tiexin grabbed Gu Shaohuai, slammed him down, then launched him into a Divine Dragon Tail Sweep that sent him spiraling through the air.

After defeating Gu Shaohuai, Shi Tiexin learned that his opponent’s Subcurrent Serpent Style was a formidable divine art and that his own Life-style martial arts would not suffice against elite competitors. Instructor Big Sister recommended the Formless Wind Tribulation Leg, leaving Shi Tiexin eager to obtain it but unsure how.

Eager to obtain the five techniques of the Limitless Tribulation Divine Art, he began studying the Formless Wind Tribulation Leg and was astonished by what he read.

• Shi Tiexin read the method’s opening outline and discovered that mastering Formless Wind Tribulation Leg required practicing Gale Leg forward and then reversing it as Leg Wind Gale.
