Ye Xiao saw many rank one magical beast on his way. He walked like this for a while longer. The strongest magical beast Ye Xiao had seen was a wounded rank two magical beast.
It was the Flame Eagle.
However, Ye Xiao lamented his misfortune that he was unable to hunt a flying magical beast. It was not that he can not fly. He had the Wings Of The Divine Dragon so he can fly but the thing was that he did not wanted to attract the attention of anybody. If he used the Wings Of The Divine Dragon, he can easily follow and kill the Flame Eagle.
But he didn't want to.
If he did use the Wings Of The Divine Dragon to hunt down the Flame Eagle, it would attract many young genius's attention and it would be difficult for him to gain any advantage in the second round of the competition.
He has to keep some cards up his sleeve for the next round of the competition after all. So he didn't chase it.
