With Oren Vikin's explanation and simple demonstration, Wen Yi, Ma Jingjie, and Chen Mingbin gradually became intrigued. Only Fang Lin Kong felt that things were not so simple and disrupted the atmosphere by saying, "Isn't it better for us to learn from Li Bing? I think he's stronger than you!"
Oren Vikin did not refute Fang Lin Kong's statement. With a gentle twist of his hand, he produced a DV camera and tossed it to Fang Lin Kong, saying, "This is our battle recording. I do not deny that Li Bing is powerful; however, his years of cultivation should exceed mine by at least ten times, if not more. This comparison should make things clearer for you."
Equipped with all necessary devices, Oren Vikin recorded the battle while fighting. This was originally intended for analyzing enemy weaknesses later on. As a Demon Hunter, he had to be prepared to face unknown terrifying foes at any moment. Thus, collecting data and sharing information with the team was a tradition of the Demon Hunting Team.
Although the DV's LCD screen was not very large, the battle was captured clearly. After both Li Bing and Oren Vikin fell into a fierce struggle, it was not obvious which side held the advantage. Li Bing's demonic energy was indeed formidable, but compared to the modern combat concepts established by the exceptionally talented fighters of countless generations within the Demon Hunting Team, his fighting style seemed quite outdated.
By relying on teleportation and Holy Power shields, Oren Vikin avoided a direct clash with Li Bing's brute strength. His endless array of weapons also left Li Bing unable to defend himself effectively. "Incredible! Both of them are amazing," Wen Yi remarked as he watched. Even Fang Lin Kong did not expect that Li Bing would handle White Whale Born so easily but struggle fiercely against Oren Vikin.
During the battle, Oren Vikin demonstrated his precise calculation abilities and managed to counterattack even under Li Bing's overwhelming demonic energy field. Just as the four were engrossed in watching, the DV screen suddenly went black and could no longer play.
"The next part of the battle shows me losing; I was frozen into a block of ice by Li Bing. However, if it were another expert at my level, I would probably have been killed instantly. To hold out this long is already the limit of what an ability user can sustain against such a vast power difference."
Oren Vikin's honesty increased Fang Lin Kong's goodwill toward him. Although Li Bing's demonic power was cultivated through training, his innate abilities were something others could never learn. A portion of memory from his future self had been etched into Fang Lin Kong's mind, making him much more aware of power than Wen Yi and the others.
While monsters cannot match humans in terms of cultivation speed, they possess certain innate traits that allow their demonic energy to undergo unique transformations, granting them extraordinary abilities. For example, Li Bing's Ice Silk Soul Search is an unparalleled skill.
"I'll head out first; you all take your time chatting," Fang Lin Kong said, knowing that now was not the time to be anxious. Concerned about Ding Qingya waiting impatiently, he decided not to linger any longer. Grabbing the handgun he had taken earlier, he found a full box of bullets in the weapons cabinet before heading for the door.
Although Wen Yi and the others were reluctant, they always followed Fang Lin Kong's lead. Each selected their firearms in preparation to indulge their sharpshooting desires. Oren Vikin smiled casually and called out to Fang Lin Kong.
"Regardless of the method of cultivation, choosing a weapon is always a careful matter. Currently, the most commonly used weapon is the Psycho Gun, but it is also the weapon that has the most mediocre users. Those who overly rely on weapons in Demon Hunter often find themselves unable to improve further, neglecting their own training."
"If you are willing, I can help train you during my stay in China to enhance your abilities. Whether you can ultimately become a true Demon Hunter depends on your efforts. However, even if you cannot pass the level assessment to join the Demon Hunting Team and obtain a Demon Hunter license, at least you will have the ability to protect yourselves. I have great confidence in your potential; you will be exceptional talents."
"Fang Lin Kong, these two gifts are for you. I hope you can think them over carefully."
Hearing that they might not become Demon Hunters after all, Wen Yi looked quite dejected. He was very dissatisfied that Fang Lin Kong received gifts first and quickly snatched the items from Oren Vikin's hands.
"One is an internal training manual for the Demon Hunting Team, divided into five volumes covering Alchemy, Natural Magic, Holy Power cultivation, Chinese Daoist techniques, and Cursing techniques. It also comes with a teaching DVD. The other is a set of four handguns made by the world's only modern exorcism weapon manufacturing company—Germany's Krieghoff, limited edition Vampire's Kiss produced in 1999. It can hold fifteen rounds of ammunition and is compatible with six types of demon-slaying bullets. Even when empty, it can still fire as long as spiritual energy is infused into it; it can also shoot Psychic Bullets."
Upon hearing this from Oren Vikin, Wen Yi immediately opened the gun case. Four magnificent silver handguns lay quietly inside, arranged in order. Although they were part of a set and had similar designs, there were subtle differences in their details.
"Since there are four in a set, we can split them among us brothers! Right, Old Fang?" Without waiting for Fang Lin Kong's agreement, Wen Yi pulled out one for himself and casually handed the box to Chen Mingbin and Ma Jingjie. Neither of them understood the concept of politeness; each picked one handgun, leaving only one for Fang Lin Kong.
Oren Vikin smiled as he watched the four divide their spoils and said lightly, "The Vampire's Kiss is a limited edition; only sixty sets were produced in total. Each gun measures twenty-six centimeters in length and weighs one point eight kilograms—considered a large handgun. It is made from holy silver mixed with manganese tungsten steel. The straight-line barrel features a stock made from ancient cedar wood adorned with rainbow shell decorations. The deep blue patterns on the gun body are imbued with sacred blessings and spirit-binding spells. Each one sells for around one hundred fifty thousand dollars on the black market because they are rare and hard to find. This set has already become part of my private collection."
Upon hearing how valuable this item was, Fang Lin Kong immediately picked up the remaining Vampire's Kiss he had and examined it closely. However, his knowledge of metal casting and artistic machinery was nearly nonexistent; he couldn't discern what made this handgun special.
"Every person who possesses a Psycho Weapon adjusts their spiritual energy to an appropriate frequency to integrate the weapon into their body. Although this method isn't as convenient as creating a dimensional space within oneself, beginners should avoid being overly ambitious."
With his hands resting on Fang Lin Kong and Chen Mingbin's backs, Oren Vikin smiled as he led everyone out of the armory.
Having delayed for so long, Ding Qingya and her group had already taken over their designated area and started shooting. The fourth shooting range had twelve shooting windows where Cen Xiaoying and Ding Qingya along with three other girls had changed into pristine white shooting outfits and donned sporty caps that enhanced their striking appearance. They had chosen exquisite miniature handguns as their weapons, and bullets were scattered all over the ground in front of them; they had already wasted quite a bit of ammunition.
Fang Lin Kong tucked away the materials from the Demon Hunting Team and Vampire's Kiss, clutching the handgun he had chosen as he moved closer to Ding Qingya. Upon closer inspection, he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Ding Qingya had fired off forty to fifty rounds, yet she hadn't even hit the target ten times. The bullet holes on the target were pitifully few. However, seeing Ding Qingya's flushed cheeks and her evident delight, he was smart enough not to say anything that might provoke her. He gently wrapped his arm around her waist, teasing her playfully.
Oren Vikin walked around, letting out a quiet sigh. Among the ten people here, the only one performing decently was Cen Xiaoying. Her athleticism and coordination seemed quite good; she hit the target at least six times out of every ten shots, making several of her friends envious. The most embarrassing was Wen Yi; his shooting skills were so poor that even Ding Qingya surpassed him. He had already fired six blanks in a row, with his last shot landing ten centimeters away from the target.
As for Li Bing, he showed no interest in this activity at all and hadn’t fired a single shot. Naturally, there were no results to speak of.
Since Oren Vikin planned to take Fang Lin Kong and the others under his wing, he had prepared himself for training them, but their performance was giving him quite a headache. "Those without talent," he thought, "God must hope they work hard."
The Western Demon Hunter Alliance had been unable to establish a foothold in China. Oren Vikin didn’t have high hopes for Fang Lin Kong and the others’ potential; he merely intended to develop a few informants in China. Whether they could learn anything worthwhile depended solely on fate.
After having enough fun, Fang Lin Kong took Ding Qingya home. Unlike usual, they didn’t linger together but parted ways early. Although Fang Lin Kong’s parents rented a decent place, it wasn’t fully equipped yet, and his computer still needed reconfiguration. He had already discussed with Wen Yi and the others about going to Chen Mingbin’s house to check out the instructional DVDs.
