Cloned Lu Shus' combat techniques seemed to be overly simple. Could five strength-type Class C's defeat a Class B? The answer was probably a no. Besides, it was tried and tested that the clones' defense and durability were unreliable either, as it was mana consuming.
After the completion of conjuring up five Lu Shus, Johnson's mana had almost been depleted. Now, he only had enough to supply for Lu Shu's spears.
The key issue was Lu Xiaoyu's power. She was unable to provide Johnson with limitless celestial powers.
As a result, she only had a chance at winning quick fights with a Class B. If it was to be dragged longer, with Class B's fast healing abilities, Anthony would be unable to sustain another round of attack.
In other words, now Lu Xiaoyu had absolute advantage over any Class C's, but not so with Class B's. She would be an easy target if her inefficient restoration of celestial powers was discovered by others.
