From the beginning, Shi Xiaole did not consider starting the challenge from the first-level platform. For him, it was a waste of time and energy.
If the Sword Evaluation Contest was a measure of true power, perhaps Shi Xiaole wouldn't have an advantage, even struggling on the second-level platform. However, when it came to power at the same rank, it wasn't him being conceited - he truly didn't fear many.
In fact, if it weren't that he had to first pass the Earth-level platform before challenging the star-level platform, as a way to express respect to those seven unmatched swordsmen, Shi Xiaole wouldn't even want to waste that bit of time.
It wasn't arrogance. It was unnecessary.
