Genso Geijutsu No Michi Kobujutsu (The Weapons Style of the Nine Elements) is a fictional fighting style that is introduced in Warriors Orochi 3. The fighting style itself involves wielding weapons in combat like dao swords, twin sabers, bo staffs, throwing knives and the use of peforming elemental magic. This style of combat was created by Song Hao, an elderly monkey spirit who stayed out of the conflict that Susano'o's army wreaked upon the humans and Orochi's forces. In order to prove that woman and mankind are strong enough to fight the mystics, Song Hao wanted to find out who would be worthy successors to the Genso Geijutsu No Michi style and decided to train 6 human candidates Cao Lutai, Ren Sui, Lin Ami, Jin Xiang, Li Kang, and the half monkey hybrid Cao Xiang. Each curriculum routine of Genso Geijutsu No Michi has an elemental affinity assigned to the type of weapon the practitioner trains with.
