Firona glared at Weimeng and the others, her expression one of exasperation at their failure to live up to expectations.
"Honestly, every one of you is more hesitant than the last. Don't you understand that fortune is sought amid danger?"
She turned to Ye Chen again and saw that he was still deep in thought, so she shifted her gaze toward Oko, who was sitting beside him.
"Oko, you born battle maniac, you definitely understand what I'm getting at, right?"
"I remember back when we were still at the academy, you loved pestering him every day for all sorts of sparring matches!"
"So here's the question: don't you want to have a full-force fight with Ye Chen as he is now?"
Faced with Firona's patient coaxing, Oko nodded slightly.
"I really do want to."
Firona immediately urged her on with delight.
"Then hurry up and help me persuade Ye Chen! After all, he listens to you more than anyone!"
However, Oko abruptly changed the subject.
"But when it comes to this, I think it should still depend on Ye Chen's own wishes. If he wants to, he wants to. If he doesn't, he doesn't. It's entirely his decision—I'm not going to say anything from the sidelines~"
Firona's expression froze. Then she clutched her head and cried out in frustration.
"Ahhh! The moment I need you, you switch into virtuous wife and loving mother mode! You're seriously going to drive me mad!"
Yet just as everyone continued bickering, a calm reply from Ye Chen slipped out.
"Sure. Then let's do it."
Everyone froze and turned their eyes toward Ye Chen.
"I agree with Firona."
Ye Chen calmly stated his position.
"Let's have a 'Spirit Realm' duel here and now."
The group fell silent for a moment before erupting into an uproar,
