I summoned the Fourth Scourge in Warhammer

How come the stats started to inflate even though the Chapter 121 version hasn't been updated?
From the perspectives of the two players, 【爱玩还菜】 and 【菜还爱玩】, the entire world's atmosphere changed abruptly with the arrival of these uninvited guests.

When the group of giants, clad in gray-blue paint and covered in animal skins, stepped into the training ground, a series of numbers on the combat power detector in [Playful and Incompetent]'s right eye jumped wildly, almost overwhelming him.

"Holy crap!" Ai Ge exclaimed. "So many Space Marines, not one of them has a combat power below three digits! The leader's combat power has even soared to four digits! This version hasn't even been updated yet, how come the stats are already inflated? Where did Commander Ruan find these hunks?"

[Cai Hai Ai Wan] muttered in a low voice, "And judging from their demeanor, they seem to be up to no good; they're here to challenge us..."

"Do we have a restaurant here for them to kick around in..." Ai Ge subconsciously complained.

“Aren’t we the two of them?” Xiao Cai sighed. “I think we’re about to be kicked out of their circle…”

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario the two brothers had envisioned—being ganged up on by a group of burly men with combat strength in the hundreds—did not occur. The Space Wolves did not swarm in; instead, their wolf lord selected a warrior. After all, they had no enmity with the Astronauts of Peditians or the Martyrs Chapter, and even the belligerent Sons of Fenris valued the honor and discipline of warriors.

The wolf guard who was called out—Okearis Rivers—stepped out, his power boots making a heavy "thud" on the ground, exuding a ferocious, beast-like aura.

Listening to the waves of cheers and shouts around the training ground, it was clear that the competition was imminent and had to be held.

Xiao Cai nudged Ai Ge next to him with his elbow and said, "Brother, the real combat opportunity you've been waiting for has arrived, the opportunity to spar with a true expert."

“Well, this precious opportunity for real combat should be given to you, little brother,” Ai Ge immediately passed the buck back, saying in a serious tone, “Respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a traditional virtue of our clan. As the older brother, I should set a good example for you by practicing what I preach.”

"No, no, no, haven't you heard the story of Kong Rong giving away the pear, brother?" Xiao Cai also started quoting the classics, "As the younger one, it's only right that I let you have this 'pear' to try..."

"No, no, no," Ai suddenly clutched his stomach, his expression turning extremely pained. "I've suddenly fallen ill and need to rest for a while. I really can't play. Brother, the glory of the band depends on you today..."

"What kind of illness is this Astartes having?" Xiao Cai squinted and complained.

“Channel malnutrition.” Ai Ge uttered a word that made Xiao Cai’s brain freeze without changing his expression.

"..."

After a long pause, Xiao Cai finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth: "...Okay, you're awesome."

He resignedly turned around, cracking his wrists and neck, his joints making a series of snapping sounds. Amidst the deafening cheers of the crowd, he faced the space wolf from Fenris alone.

"I'll go, then..."

[Cai still loves to play] He took a deep breath, and the power armor's circulatory system emitted a slight hum. He took a few steps forward and stood in the center of the training field, facing the space wolf named Oceanis Rivers.

A tense atmosphere filled the air between the two. The clamor outside seemed to fade away at that moment, leaving only their heavy breathing and the soft creaking of their armor joints. He assumed his fighting stance, slowly gathering the energy of "Dragon Flame" into his fists, preparing for a tough battle.

He thought that the next second would be a fierce collision between metal and power.

However, a sudden, piercing electrical buzzing sound erupted, as if someone had just turned on an old loudspeaker. Immediately afterwards, a powerful, slightly exaggerated voice filled the entire training ground:
"Alright, everyone, this is your old friend, Cohen!"

"Holy crap, who the hell is this person?!" Xiao Cai was shocked and almost lost her composure. "How come there's even a narrator? And what's with this dubbing accent?!"

"As we can see! On the field, two magnificent Space Marines are engaged in a fierce standoff!" Cohen's voice was full of passion, as if he were witnessing an epic duel. "First, let's look at the one on the left! Wearing black power armor... he is none other than the 999th generation Lieutenant General of Shaolin Dragon Flame Fist, a master who has honed the art of both strength and gentleness to an art form! From the Legion of the Dead—[Cai-Hai-Ai-Wan]!"

As he drew out the last syllable, thunderous cheers erupted in the training ground; the players clearly enjoyed the tune.

However, Xiao Cai, the person involved, was already feeling annoyed. "Don't fucking give people random nicknames!" he mentally ranted. "How did you manage to make up a bunch of titles that even I could barely remember? Couldn't you use that eloquence to do something worthwhile...?"

"And on the other side!" Cohen paused deliberately, leaving everyone in suspense.

Rivers on the court clearly understood what this meant. He raised his head and announced himself in a loud voice: "Okelis Rivers!"

"And on the other side!" Cohen's voice rose again, "is the elite warrior from the icy world of Fenris, forged through countless trials by its biting winds—Okearis Rivers!"

"...Why don't they give him a nickname?" Xiao Cai thought to herself. "Are they afraid he'll chop them up on the spot? The preferential treatment is too obvious!"

"So, between these two powerful warriors, who will emerge victorious and claim today's glory?" Cohen's impassioned voice completely stirred the emotions of the audience.

Then, he suddenly changed the subject and recited in one breath at a speed comparable to that of a heavy logging gun:

"Before we begin, please take note, everyone! Just look down and you'll see our 'Battlefield Pancakes' at our mobile stall! Made with the freshest rat meat and dried cockroaches, they contain four times the protein of beef! Crunchy and chicken-flavored, guaranteed to be a hundred times tastier than nutrition bars! Soldiers with a craving for these must not miss out! Purchase now and receive a free cup of filtered water! Thank you for your support!"

"I've got the hell out of me! So you were just doing the commentary to insert commercials?!" Xiao Cai completely lost it. "You really have a damn good business sense!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Cai suddenly realized something, and her expression changed: "Wait... what did he say his name was again? Cohen? (One of the classic Jewish surnames)"

"Alright, enough of this nonsense!" Rivers on the other side was clearly getting impatient. He tapped the ground with his chainsaw sword, making a dull thud. "Let's get started!"

“Alright, since our contestants are already so eager,” Cohen readily agreed, “then let’s speed things up and get into the exciting pre-match trash talk segment—Mr. [Clumsy but Still Loves to Play], is there anything you’d like to say to Mr. Rivers before the match begins?”

"Hmm..." Cohen's words successfully pulled Xiao Cai back from her frantic state and made her realize that she actually had something to say.

He looked directly into Rivers' eyes and said in a deep voice, "I can sense that you are very strong... If it were just a simple sparring match, I wouldn't be your match."

"Oh?" Rivers grinned, a hint of disdain in his eyes. "You're already giving up before the fight even starts, rookie?"

“But I don’t want to lose.” Xiao Cai’s tone suddenly turned sharp as she finished speaking. “So, I have no choice but to use all my strength. If I accidentally hurt or cripple you… then I can only say I’m very sorry.”

Upon hearing this, the noisy scene instantly fell silent, as if the air had been sucked out.

The next second, an even more violent storm swept across the entire area.

"My God! Can I interpret this as the strongest provocation from Mr. [Cai Hai Ai Wan]?!" This was commentator Cohen's exclamation, adding fuel to the fire.

"Well said! That's fucking awesome! Kill him!" This was a bloodthirsty spectator who seemed to thrive on chaos.

"Rivers! Let him see just how biting the Fenris winds are!" This was the enraged space wolf.

Rivers, who was in the spotlight, was stunned for a moment in disbelief. Then, he slowly grinned, revealing his snow-white and sharp teeth—like a real wolf.

A low, dangerous growl escaped his throat, each word dripping with icy chill: "Very well, it seems you, new recruit... are a bit hard to discipline. I'll personally teach you how to respect veterans."
