Even among magical beasts of the same rank, there are varying degrees of strength. Just as professionists of the same rank also have different abilities.
Though they are both of the 6th Rank, how much difference could there be between Divine Maiden Menglu's strength and that of an ordinary 6th Rank professionist?
The gap in rank between the Steel Demon Bear and the Red Armor Earth Dragon is not substantial; the main distinction lies in their bloodline. Crucially, their fundamental attributes are of the same type, known for their defense and strength among magical beasts.
If the Steel Demon Bear is considered to be at the early stage of Level 8 magical beasts, the Red Armor Earth Dragon would definitely be at the advanced stage. Even for defense and strength, the Steel Demon Bear would only be considered a grunt when compared to the Red Armor Earth Dragon.
