Shen Gongpao was powerful and had an unimaginable network. He was arrogant and indeed qualified! Without any preparation, even if everyone attacked Shen Gongpao, he would still be able to retreat.
Liu An smiled."Fei Zhong, you did a good job this time. You introduced me to a capable person like Taoist Priest Shen."”
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. This is what Fei Zhong should do.”Fei Zhong said modestly, but he was actually extremely satisfied and happy.
"It's just that…" Liu An changed the topic and said with some difficulty,""After all, Taoist Priest Shen is new here. This king wants to entrust the lives of 100,000 soldiers to you. Isn't this a bit hasty? Moreover, I don't know how capable Taoist Priest Shen is. If you can't resist Marquis of the West's deployment, wouldn't you suffer heavy casualties?”
Shen Gongpao laughed wildly as if he had heard a joke. His laughter echoed throughout the palace.
"Haha! Haha! Hahahaha! Your Majesty, I can't say anything about the first sentence, but the second half seems to underestimate me. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can test me.”Shen Gongbao said confidently.
He was obviously very confident in his Dao techniques.
It made sense. Although Shen Gongbao was not a top-notch expert in the Clan of Enlightenment and the Clan of Jie, and was even slightly inferior to the Three-Bag disciples, he was undoubtedly the strongest in the Shang Dynasty. It was easy to fool King Zhou.
Unfortunately, this King Zhou was not that King Zhou.
"That's for the best." Liu An replied. He couldn't help but stand up, attracting everyone's attention.
Shen Gongbao held his head high, waiting for Liu An to come up with the question.
"We can feast our eyes now." Chonghou Hu chuckled.
Huang Feihu sized up Shen Gongbao with interest.
Wen Zhong looked at Shen Gongpao seriously. Shen Gongpao's appearance made him feel like he was out of control. He was a capable person! It was fine if he was working for Great Shang, but if he wanted to play some tricks or even murder King Zhou, it would be bad.
"How does Your Majesty want to test me?”Shen Gongpao crossed his arms and said casually.
"Hehe." Liu An smiled insidiously. He decisively took out a brick from his waist!
It was an ordinary red brick, and it looked like it was of poor quality. It could actually be ground into powder by rubbing it with his hands.
This brick of extremely poor quality was Liu An's trump card!
This was an advanced magic treasure gifted by the Dream Realization System. Although this big brick looked ordinary, it was not without its powerful points. At least its sturdiness was not something that ordinary things could compare to. Liu An had tried to use a sharp sword to hack it, but it did not leave a single mark. At most, it would leave a little dust.
"Today's test is this!" Liu An dragged the brick with one hand and pointed at the brick with the other.
"Ah?" Everyone exclaimed in shock.
"Your Majesty's test is actually a mere brick?”Fei Zhong was surprised.
He knew Shen Gongpao's ability very well. He thought that King Zhou would ask the civil and military officials to give him some difficult questions, but he only took out a brick…
"It seems that the rumor that King Zhou hid the brick in Zhaoge was not fabricated. I wonder if it is really a strange stone that fell when Pangu created the world.”Shang Rong chuckled, looking quite happy.
Shen Gongbao was puzzled when he saw the brick. He did not know the story of King Zhou hiding the brick. He only thought that King Zhou was teasing him. He looked contemptuous.
"A mere brick, how is the king going to test me? Do you want me to break a brick with my hand and crack a stone with my mouth?”Shen Gongbao said sarcastically.
"Otherwise, otherwise." Liu An shook his head slightly.
" Don't underestimate this brick, Taoist Priest Shen. It's a strange stone left behind by Pangu when the world was created…" Liu An repeated what he had said before. His expression became more and more interesting."Although this brick isn't as powerful as it was in the past, it's not something that ordinary magic treasures can compare to. If Daoist Priest Shen doesn't use 120% of his strength, I'm afraid he won't be able to pass me.”
Liu An sounded like he was telling the truth, which made Wen Zhong and the others cautious and expectant.
If it was really as Liu An said, then this brick could be considered the world's largest brick. What kind of miraculous effect would it have?
Shen Gongbao wanted to laugh.
Did Pangu leave behind bricks when he created the world? Are you kidding me?
Shen Gongbao was not a fool. He was once a disciple of the Clan of Enlightenment and the Clan of Termination. He had been taught by the Honored Lord of the Origin and the Sect Leader Tongtian. He had a wide range of friends and had an extraordinary vision. He had studied the ancient things deeply. He knew that Liu An was lying, but he could not say it out loud because of Liu An's status.
Shen Gongpao thought to himself,'This King Zhou is really funny. Let him see what a real Taoist skill is.'
"Your Majesty, please set the questions." "The world is so big. There is nothing I can't solve." Shen Gongbao said disdainfully.”
This guy was bragging, but Liu An couldn't find another person who could stump Shen Gongpao.
However, just this one was enough.
"Because my brick is made of a natural stone, it is extremely hard. Unless it is an ancient treasure, it will be difficult to damage it. I don't want to embarrass Taoist Shen. As long as Taoist Shen can break a corner of my brick, it will be considered qualified.”Liu An chuckled.
"So simple?" Shen Gongbao asked in surprise.
"It's that simple!" Liu An said firmly, as if he was sure that Shen Gongpao would not be able to break this brick.
"That would be too easy. Forget about breaking a corner, I can even break the entire thing or smash it into pieces.”Shen Gongbao laughed.
He could tell at a glance that there was nothing special about this brick. He immediately felt relieved and couldn't help but boast.
Liu An's expression did not change. He waved his hand and said,"Men, set up the table. Let us see how powerful Taoist Priest Shen is.”
There were all kinds of things in the palace. Immediately, military officials carried tables and chairs and placed them in the middle of the hall.
Shen Gongpao stood in front of the table with his hands behind his back. A light breeze blew from somewhere, making his Taoist robe flutter. He looked like an immortal.
Grand Preceptor Wen and the other officials formed a semicircle, waiting for Shen Gongbao to display his power. The corner of the semicircle was facing Liu An, making it convenient for him to watch Shen Gongbao's casting.
