When it comes to close-quarters combat, Geto is undoubtedly a true Genius.
After acquiring Playful Cloud, Geto had sought out his former combat and Sanda coaches to inquire about using a three-section staff, but he couldn't find a suitable teacher.
After all, the three-section staff is a niche weapon, and it's too easy to hit yourself with it during practice.
That feeling is truly painful.
You ask why Eichi knows?
Because when Geto came to Eichi for treatment of injuries inflicted by Playful Cloud, Eichi also tried a few swings himself.
But even so, Geto still managed to grasp some of the Dao.
Relying only on some basic Moves taught by a martial arts coach and a few clips from movies, he achieved Minor Achievement with the three-section staff.
He believes that with a few more years of practice, he will achieve Major Achievement.
On a side note, Geto also became a fan of Jet Li, because Eichi remembered that this superstar seemed to have used a three-section staff, so he looked for it.
He actually found a DVD of him using the Shaolin three-section staff.
After watching the DVD, Geto also grew to like him.
Clink, clink, bang.
Another strike landed on the Kuchisake-onna. Geto's left hand was gripping one end of the staff, his right hand gripping the middle section, and he was using both hands to vigorously swing the upper section.
The continuous staff shadows and unpredictable attacks made it impossible for the Kuchisake-onna to parry.
He moved his right hand forward to grip the front short section.
Geto continuously thrust the upper and lower short sections like short spears.
The short staff attacks continuously landed on the Kuchisake-onna, causing her to scream repeatedly.
The continuous attacks made Geto's arm ache. He stepped forward with his right foot, transferring power from his leg to his waist, and then to his right hand, thrusting with full force.
The Kuchisake-onna was once again sent flying by the immense power from Playful Cloud.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
A dozen scissors flew out from around the Kuchisake-onna.
Geto grabbed the middle short staff with both hands and then spun it vigorously.
The chain caused the upper and lower short staffs to act like a fan, deflecting all the scissors.
"Ah ah ah! Die!"
The Kuchisake-onna roared, and a giant pair of scissors, tens of meters long, descended from the sky.
The scissor blades opened and then instantly closed, aiming to cut Geto in half.
"Good timing."
Geto showed no fear on his face, even laughing heartily.
Gripping one short staff with his right hand, Geto swung Playful Cloud with all his might.
Crack.
The sound of metal breaking was heard, and the two blades of the scissors were directly shattered by Playful Cloud.
The giant scissors landed, raising a cloud of dust.
Geto charged out of the dust, attacking the Kuchisake-onna again.
The Kuchisake-onna plunged the scissors in her hand into the ground, and then scissors emerged one by one from the ground.
Sharp blades surrounded the Kuchisake-onna's body.
"Oh? I see, a forest made of scissors. Indeed, long weapons like spears and three-section staffs are difficult to wield in complex terrain like a forest."
Geto expressed his admiration for the Kuchisake-onna's actions.
"But these things are useless against Playful Cloud!"
Geto swung Playful Cloud upwards.
His right hand, gripping the end of the staff, smashed Playful Cloud fiercely into the ground.
Bang.
The immense force directly created a deep pit in the ground.
Playful Cloud's momentum did not decrease, and it cut a wound into the earth in the direction of Geto's arm swing.
Countless shattered stones flew towards the Kuchisake-onna like cannonballs.
The Kuchisake-onna waved her hands, and a large number of scissors appeared in front of her, blocking the flying stones.
Geto did not stop to observe if the flying stone attack was effective; the moment the flying stones were thrown, he followed closely behind.
Looking at the wall made of a large number of scissors in front of him.
Geto once again swung Playful Cloud with all his might.
Crack.
The wall collapsed.
Reflected in the shattered scissors were the terrified Kuchisake-onna and the grinning Geto.
Boom!
Playful Cloud smashed down, but the Kuchisake-onna no longer had the strength to dodge.
"Is this the end?"
The Kuchisake-onna, lying on the ground, unable to exert an ounce of strength, looked in terror at the man who was not yet satisfied.
"Well, that works too. It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying fight."
Geto gently swung Playful Cloud.
The three-section staff instantly folded together and was held in Geto's left hand.
Geto's fingers were long, and he could perfectly hold the three-section staff when it was folded.
He raised his right hand, and a black vortex appeared. The Kuchisake-onna, without any resistance, was transformed into a Cursed Spirit Orb by Geto.
Eichi even saw a hint of relief in the Kuchisake-onna's eyes.
He tilted his head back and swallowed the Cursed Spirit Orb, then tightly covered his mouth with his right hand.
Soon, the Kuchisake-onna was completely digested and absorbed by Geto, becoming a Cursed Spirit under his command.
After everything was over, Geto arrived beside the convoy.
Waiting there were Qiongqi, Xiao Hei, a Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit, Eichi looking up at the sky, research assistants with envious and adoring eyes, and several old professors gathered together in constant discussion.
"It's over. What do we do next?"
Smiling and nodding at the assistants who looked at him with admiration, Geto turned to ask Eichi about the next arrangements.
"First, go find the Assistant Supervisor to collect the commission, then find that car."
Saying this, Eichi pointed to a black sedan at the back of the convoy.
"The driver will take you to the food street near your home. Go home after dinner."
"What about you?"
Geto nodded, indicating he understood.
"First, I'll send these people back, then have a late-night snack at the research institute before going home."
The two had been busy since noon and hadn't had dinner yet.
"I understand. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
The two waved goodbye.
Soon, the small convoy began its journey back to the research institute.
Eichi looked out the window bored, his mind starting to wander.
Geto should be nearing his Peak now, right?
According to the information revealed from various angles in the plot, Geto released over six thousand Cursed Spirits during the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
In the two battlefields, each battlefield had one Special Grade Cursed Spirit as the leader, and more than 10 Grade 1 Cursed Spirits as the main force.
Geto, who went to Tokyo Jujutsu High, brought a Special Grade Imaginary Vengeful Spirit, the Incarnation of Tamamo-no-Mae, and the remaining four thousand-plus Cursed Spirits.
Finally, when clashing with Yuta , he even used Maximum Technique to fuse 4461 Cursed Spirits in one go.
This means that at his Peak, Geto had at least 3 or more Special Grade Cursed Spirits and dozens of Grade 1 Cursed Spirits, right?
Just thinking about it felt terrifying.
However, thinking about the Jujutsu World's lineup, Eichi felt that this power was actually not enough.
Todo Aoi alone could take down 5 Grade 1 Cursed Spirits and 1 Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
There's Mei Mei, a powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer capable of exorcising Special Grade Cursed Spirits, Kusakabe, who is suspected to be stronger than Mei Mei, and other excellent Grade 1 and Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerers like Nanami.
Thinking this way, two Special Grade Cursed Spirits and twenty to thirty Grade 1 Cursed Spirits really aren't enough.
Geto now possesses three high-end combatants: the Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit, Rainbow Dragon, and Kuchisake-onna.
The number of Grade 1 Cursed Spirits has also exceeded 10, and the total number of Cursed Spirits exceeds 1000.
He can already launch a small-scale Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
However, I am also not weak: the Quasi-Special Grade Xiao Hei, the Special Grade Qiongqi, the Grade 1 Xiao Bai, multiple Grade 1 Shadow Servants, and the second Special Grade Chimera that is about to succeed.
"Tsk, but on paper, my strength seems a bit weaker. No, the subjugation of Mahoraga must be put on the agenda."
Last time, with Toji's help, Eichi successfully probed Mahoraga's strength, and since then, Eichi has been planning how to subjugate Mahoraga.
Eichi believes that it won't be long before this strongest Shikigami completely becomes his power.
