They Couldn't Even Hurt Him!

In the arena, everyone watched Little Iron with curiosity, doubt, or anticipation. He looked puzzled.

"Aron?"

Is it giving me a bath?

Little Iron looked toward Araquanid in confusion.

The attack felt like morning dew landing on his body. It was a little cool and damp, but it didn't hurt at all.

I feel like two layers of Iron Defense would be enough...

Should I drop one?

No, how could I think that?

The opponent must be pretending to be weak to lull me into dropping my guard!

At that thought, Little Iron's puzzled gaze turned serious.

"Aron!!"

What a cunning opponent. I won't fall for it!

"Araquanid??"

Across the arena, Araquanid looked utterly baffled.

Fall for what?

Araquanid had been happy when its attack landed, but seeing its opponent completely unharmed had already irritated it. Now that it was being accused of trickery, it felt even worse.

"Araquanid, use Bubble Beam again!"

"Araquanid!!"

Perhaps because the last Bubble Beam had done nothing, Araquanid put everything it had into this one. Even the bubble around its head swelled far larger than before.

A stream of bubbles, faster and more forceful than the last, whistled toward Little Iron.

[Ding! Aron (Little Iron) used Iron Defense in battle. Proficiency +2!]

[Ding! Iron Defense successfully blocked an opponent's attack. Additional move proficiency +2!] ×11

Mu Yun listened to the system notifications chiming one after another in his mind, then looked at Little Iron, who remained unscathed and wary of a trick.

Should I wait a little longer, or make a move now? Mu Yun wondered.

After some thought, Mu Yun abandoned the idea of farming more move proficiency.

His main goal today was to raise their levels. He could farm proficiency back home; there was no need to waste
