Seeing the hazy night outside, Xie Zhinuan had lost all desire to sleep, so she simply got up and got dressed.
The three were sleeping on the ground, and as the weather had become cooler, she had made up a bed for them, and they all slept very sweetly.
Xie Zhinuan went to fetch water to wash her face and rinse her mouth. She took a sword and practiced in the courtyard three times. After working up a sweat, Xie Zhinuan began to practice boxing. This boxing technique was taught by Li Hengyi; she was very skilled at it but didn't know how to channel her Inner Strength into her punches, to strike with enough power to shatter a large rock.
It was the same with her swordsmanship; she had practiced until she was highly skilled but didn't know how to use it practically.
