C.  Adam's a dick trying to hurt Blake as badly as he can, Plus, Yang's Aura might have been mostly focused on protecting her torso from harm, so the weakest point with the least amount of Aura Points was probably on her arm.

D. Adam hadn't absorbed anywhere near as much energy for attacking Yang as he had for attacking the giant robot. Remember, the robot fired a huge laserbeam, allowing Adam to absorb a looot of energy from it. Meanwhile, in Heroes and Monsters, we only saw him absorb energy from blocking Blake's bullets. It makes sense that his Semblance would've had a weaker effect when he used it on Yang than when he used it on the giant robot, since he had absorbed less energy.
