The only entrance to the entire government office was a three-bay gate located directly south of the central axis. This gate, also known as the "head gate," was not a simple doorway, but a roofed building.
Once you pass through this gate, you'll arrive at the Six Doors government office, now the most sought-after office in Jinling City.
At this time.
Inside a small house with six doors.
Inside the room hung a plaque with four large characters: "Evil Buster".
Li Boyang sat upright in the armchair below the plaque. In front of him were three men and one woman dressed as江湖儿女 (jianghu children, people of the martial arts world), who were looking at them with scrutinizing eyes.
These four people were recommended to him by officials from the Six Doors after going through layers of screening. It can be said that these four people are the strongest martial arts heroes who have come to Jinling so far.
Li Boyang picked up a document placed on the table and read it slowly, word by word, in the calmest tone:
"Liu Zhaolin, at the peak of the Acquired Realm, is inherently cruel. He once had a dispute with a merchant and subsequently murdered the entire family. And..."
This document records the life story as investigated by the government. With each sentence Li Boyang finished reading, Liu Zhaolin's forehead would be covered in more sweat. By the time the short document was finished, the other party was sweating profusely and his face was constantly drooping.
Liu Zhaolin looked at the calm man in front of him with a look of horror. He couldn't blame him for being useless. Although Li Boyang was just sitting there very normally, he was putting too much pressure on him.
The stories of this man in the martial arts world—blood-handed butcher, number one in the martial arts world, etc.—have long been widely circulated. He came to the Six Doors to register this time, even though he already knew that he would not be held accountable for his previous actions.
But when he actually stood in front of Li Boyang, he couldn't help but worry. Who knew if the other party would suddenly turn on him? With the skills of the man in front of him, taking him down would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Li Boyang glanced at Liu Zhaolin, whose face was almost pale, and sneered. Then he took another document and continued reading:
"Kong Changchun, the direct murderer of the Shanxi family massacre, was once a bandit leader who ruled the mountains. After offending the local martial arts sects, he fled into the martial arts world..."
"Liu Ying, the proprietress of Yulin Inn, what a shady place! She must have made plenty of human flesh buns."
"Wei Yuntian, well, you haven't really forgiven any mistakes, but you just love to stand up for the weak too much. You've actually been hunted down by so many sects. You're something else."
All four were at the peak of the Acquired Realm, but they were all being hunted down everywhere for various reasons. In the end, when they heard that the Six Doors was recruiting people, they came with a try-it-out mentality.
When Li Boyang finished reading all the documents from the four men, the four men, drenched in sweat, had all knelt on the ground, staring at him in fear.
Li Boyang saw through the four people's worries and smiled to comfort them:
"Don't worry, I keep my word. I will forgive and forget what happened before I joined the Six Doors."
"Although you are the four strongest candidates selected from below, I still want to test your skills and see if you are worth training."
The four of them stammered as they spoke:
"I dare not lay a hand on you, sir."
Li Boyang looked at the four people with a half-smile and said softly:
"What, are you afraid of hurting me?"
"Everyone, attack me with all your might!"
The four looked up at Li Boyang and suddenly felt a sense of contempt at being looked down upon. After confirming that Li Boyang was not joking, they exchanged glances and suddenly pounced on Li Boyang at the same time.
Liu Zhaolin used the Mighty Eagle Claw Kung Fu of Shaolin. With a swing of his arm, his bones cracked and popped, and his five fingers formed an eagle claw as he grabbed at Li Boyang's groin.
Kong Changchun's entire body suddenly flashed with a dark green luster, clearly indicating that he had mastered the Golden Bell Shield technique to a high level. He then swept a whip kick directly at Li Boyang.
Liu Ying was not to be outdone. She extended her palm, and suddenly a long sword appeared from her sleeve. She was actually practicing the skill of a hidden sword.
Wei Yuntian was skilled in leg techniques. With a squat and a leap, his figure was already in mid-air. His Twelve-Road Spring Kick left several afterimages, as swift as the wind.

Chapter 153 The Four Great Constables
Seeing that all four had brought out their special moves, Li Boyang smiled faintly.
With a flick of his arm, he pushed through the air, and a Tai Chi Bagua pattern suddenly appeared in mid-air. With a casual push from Li Boyang, it enveloped the invisible kick that was coming from the air.
"The force is too light. It seems you haven't mastered the Twelve-Road Spring Kick technique yet."
Wei Yuntian felt as if his flying kick had hit a steel plate. He didn't even make contact with Li Boyang's body. Suddenly, he felt himself hit a wall and was blocked by it. His whole body flew backward.
Immediately afterward, Liu Ying's hidden sword pierced Li Boyang's throat.
"The power is there, but the speed is too slow."
Li Boyang casually commented, then lightly tapped his fingertip, instantly touching the tip of the sword.
Several cracks suddenly appeared on the blade of the short sword, which was made of fine iron, and then it exploded in an instant.
Liu Ying felt a jolt in the tiger's mouth of her right hand holding the sword, and a reaction force returned to her, sending her flying backward.
At this moment, Liu Zhaolin's powerful Eagle Claw technique also reached for Li Boyang's groin. Just as he was about to grab him, veins suddenly appeared on Liu Zhaolin's face, and a large hand grabbed his arm.
"The timing was good, but the martial arts skills are too low."
Li Boyang gently pressed down with the hand that was holding Liu Zhaolin's arm, and a stream of air instantly formed a circular motion and shot out.
Liu Zhaolin felt as if a mountain had suddenly pressed down on him. Just as the thought of utter despair arose in his mind, he suddenly felt his body lighten and was sent flying backward.
"Your Shaolin Golden Bell Cover technique looks pretty good. Let me test its quality."
Li Boyang kicked Liu Zhaolin away, then swung his hand and slapped Kong Changchun hard.
A large, yellow bell vaguely appeared outside Kong Changchun's body, firmly enveloping him and seemingly ignoring his defenses.
