I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

The first match was between the King of Saltwater and King Orm of Atlantis.

The second match was between the King of the Fishermen's Kingdom and Ruszeze.

The third match will be between Depp and the Saltwater Nation warriors.

The fourth match was between King Nereus and the warriors of Atlantis.

The fifth match...

As the draw concluded, the King of Saltwater burst into laughter upon seeing that he had been matched up against Orm, just as he had hoped.

Seeing this, Orm was completely bewildered. He then took out King Ovark's trident and began his pre-battle warm-up.

Ten minutes later, as two soldiers blew their horns, the first duel officially began!

Orm leaped into the ring like a dragon, while the King of Saltwater landed like a cannonball.

At the start of the competition, the King of Saltwater Kingdom chose to take the initiative.

His eight razor-sharp crab claws bent slightly, and then he launched himself out like a cannonball, directly shattering the place where he had been fighting into countless pieces of rock.

Seeing the King of Saltwater heading straight for him, giving him no chance to build up his ultimate attack, Orm could only grip his trident tightly in front of his chest, ready for battle.

duang~

The King of Saltwater's body was simply mounted on Orm's trident, which immediately bent into a semicircle.

As the trident straightened again, Orm slid backward.

There are no strict boundaries in this fighting arena; as long as the fight doesn't involve the audience, there's no such thing as going out of bounds.

Orm stopped himself just as he was about to crash into the audience.

However, a single, unadorned attack from the King of Saltwater was enough to cause numerous wounds to split open on the tiger's mouth of Orm's hands.

Strands of blood drifted out with the seawater, and the King of the Saltwater Kingdom smelled the blood in the sea, which fueled his fighting spirit even more!

Subsequently, the King of Saltwater once again launched a relentless attack on Orm using his brute force.

Soon, the teenage Orm began to tire, and was eventually knocked to the ground by a headbutt from the King of Saltwater, leaving him bleeding profusely.

"The King of Saltwater Kingdom wins the first match!"

The host announced the winner of the first match, which elicited cheers and shouts from countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the saltwater kingdom.

In their eyes, their king is the most powerful person in the world and their eternal hero!

After giving Orm a good beating, the King of Saltwater Kingdom finally calmed down from being stood up and comfortably walked off the ring back to the bench to watch the next match.

Soon, the second match began.

King Riku of the Fishermen's Kingdom battles Ruszeze, the princess of the Lost Kingdom!

To be honest, this match was a foregone conclusion for the audience in the stands.

Although the Fishermen's Kingdom is not warlike, its king is nonetheless a powerful figure with a remarkable record of victories.

Having such a powerful king-level expert fight against a budding little girl is a bit like bullying.

The audience on the stage couldn't help but feel sorry for the beautiful woman, and they all shouted for the fisherman's king on the stage.

"King Riku, you mustn't be too harsh on a young girl!"

"That's right. After all, she is a princess from the Lost Kingdom who has come all the way from afar. You must be gentle with her, otherwise the King of the Lost Kingdom will definitely be angry!"

"Also, you must never hit a girl's face, or you'll ruin her life!"

Hearing the shouts from the audience, the King of Fisherman's Kingdom displayed a very gentlemanly demeanor as soon as he stepped onto the stage.

The fisherman's king, clad in golden armor and covered in green scales, said to Ruszeze, "Little girl, I don't want to lay a hand on such a cute girl who is not yet an adult. You should just surrender."

As he spoke, he used the extremely luxurious and intricately crafted openwork trident in his hand to draw a flower in the water and pushed it in front of Ruszeze.

Upon hearing this, Ruszeze's previously timid face flashed with anger:

"Are you saying I'm not worthy to be your opponent? Or... do you think the people of our Lost Kingdom are all cowardly wimps?"

"Huh?"

Ruszeze's assertive reply left the King of the Fishermen's Kingdom speechless for a moment.

But the next second, he saw Ruszeze's delicate, exquisitely shaped little fist.

"This girl is so fast!"

The King of Fisherman's Kingdom sensed something was wrong and immediately raised his openwork trident to defend himself.

Unfortunately, although the materials and workmanship of his thing were perfect, it just so happens to be hollow.

Although the openwork carvings contain elements of magic circles, they do provide a significant boost to magic-related skills.

However, every gain has its loss; the hollowed-out manufacturing method has also caused the sturdiness of this thing to drop to an appalling level.

So, the moment Ruszeze's fist made intimate contact with this thing...

With a snap, the Fisherman's King's trident broke in two.

Ruszeze's fist, however, seemed completely unhindered, continuing to swing forward, heading straight for the Fisherman's King's face.

"Holy crap, this is incredibly embarrassing!"

The king of the Fishermen's Kingdom felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the fist that was growing ever larger before him.

Bang!

With a single punch, the King of Fisherman's Kingdom was sent flying more than a hundred meters backward, blood gushing from his nostrils, before crashing onto the arena.

In his last second before losing consciousness, the King of the Fisherman's Kingdom was thinking...

"How the hell did I end up with a lousy, hollowed-out trident?!"

On the stage, Rusze twisted his wrist, thinking to himself, "This guy was all talk, how come he's so weak?"

Below the ring, whether it was the audience members in the stands or the host and other contestants in the lounge, everyone was stunned and silent.

No one could have imagined that this girl would be able to defeat the King of the Fishermen's Kingdom!

Moreover, it was just one punch, a completely unpretentious punch!

But without a doubt, upsets and dark horses are scenes that everyone except the losers is happy to see.

So after a brief moment of shock and silence, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

The applause completely drowned out the shouts and curses from the Fisherman's Kingdom audience.

Even King Nereus forgot to order a rescue team to carry the still-bleeding fisherman's king away.

Soon, the host ran onto the stage and shouted excitedly:

"The second time, Princess Ruszeze of the Lost Kingdom wins!"

"No one could have imagined that such a seemingly frail girl could unleash such tremendous energy."

"To knock out the King of the Fishermen's Kingdom with just one punch is nothing short of a miracle!"

"Let's give a warm round of applause to our beloved Princess Ruszeze!"

The host ruthlessly rubbed salt into the wounds of the Fisherman's Nation's audience, but received even more enthusiastic applause from other countries.

After Ruszeze left the field, she immediately ran to Depp's side and whispered, "Big Brother Depp, are all the creatures in the ocean... really this weak?"

Upon hearing this, Depp said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh... not really. It's probably because the Fishermen's Kingdom is the most peace-loving, and they prefer poetry and art to fighting."

"So that's how it is." Ruszeze said remorsefully, "If I had known this would happen, I would have gone easy on him. I would have broken that fancy stick of his..."

Depp patted the boy's hair and said, "Whatever, anyone whose hair can be broken by a punch is probably no good anyway."

At least... it's not as good as Neptune's Trident.

On the stage, the host announced that the third match had officially begun.

This match features Depp against the Saltwater Warriors.

Unfortunately, this warrior from the Saltwater Kingdom had his two legs and one claw broken in a previous match, so his combat power was practically negative.

Seeing the man's miserable state when he went on stage, Depp immediately thought of the scene of steaming crabs at home.

Every time I open the pot and lift the lid, there are always a few poor little creatures struggling fiercely with broken arms and legs.

However, the taste is even more delicious, after all, it's lively!

But in this arena, even Depp was afraid that he might accidentally kill a disabled opponent.

The result, without a doubt, was that Depp won.

However, the cheers for this victory were much quieter compared to Ruszeze's previous victory.

After all, beating up a disabled person is somewhat of an unfair victory.

But Depp didn't care at all, and after finishing the game, he leisurely returned to the locker room.

"Depp, that was really cool!"

Ruszeze grabbed Depp's arm and said.

Upon hearing this, Depp turned around in shock and said, "Sis, there's no need, really no need."

I was just bullying a disabled person, and your praise is really hard for me to accept.

The fourth match was also a foregone conclusion.

King Nereus completely crushed the Atlantean warriors.

Within just a few moves, the vast difference in strength proved too much for the Atlantean warrior, who was unable to withstand the attack and was defeated.

As King Nereus returned to the lounge amidst cheers and praises, Orm and the King of the Fishermen's Kingdom were also carried back on stretchers.

Om was in relatively good condition, lying on his side on the stretcher, happily munching on Zebel's delicious food.

Meanwhile, the king of the Fishermen's Kingdom was in a much worse state; it was clear that he had completely lost his composure.

He held the broken pieces of his trident, muttering to himself:

Why?

"Why should I?"

"That shouldn't be the case!"
