Looking at Lü Bu again, although Lu Li did not think Lü Bu was the strongest military general in all of Chinese history, he was at least one of the top few—a truly formidable man.
The difficulty of taking an enemy general's head from the midst of ten thousand troops was obviously far greater than hacking someone down on the street.
Besides, raw stats were important. Boxers even competed in weight classes. With Lü Bu's build and strength, Okita Souji simply could not compare.
Lu Li had gone to inspect the contestants yesterday and found that even after entering his Child of Oni State, Okita Souji's stats still could not reach Lü Bu's. As for martial skill, Lu Li could not judge it yet, but he had always believed that no matter how powerful a technique was, it needed stats to support it.
So, the further he read into the manga, the more indignant he felt for Lü Bu. Damn it, Lü Bu had not failed first—his Divine Weapon had broken first!
Therefore, Lü Bu's defeat did not mean he himself was inadequate. It meant the Valkyrie partnered with him had fallen a little short.
In contrast, Sasaki Kojiro's, Okita Souji's, and Raiden's Valkyrie partners all had incredibly useful abilities. Their cheats were absurdly powerful.

As for Scarlett, whom Lu Li possessed now, there was no need to say much. Her numerical boost was indeed not high—perhaps even the lowest among the Valkyries—but her mechanics were incredible. The Godspeed iaido boost and Blade
