Decisions, decisions…
Dante looked at his progress in the Raging Blood Halberd Technique and knew that he could likely break through again soon. However, his plan was to break through both his physical methods one after the other so that when raising his stats, he could do it rapidly.
So it was good that the External Martial Art was near the peak; it would give him time to work on his Knight Breathing technique. Dante did not begin right away but fell into his energy pool and began to recharge while putting himself to sleep to make energy absorption faster.
While in a daze-like sleep, Dante couldn't help but crave a superpower or magical method that could help him either generate or absorb energy faster. If he could acquire such a thing, his progress in all of his methods would skyrocket crazily.
