The competitors stood up from their seated positions, glancing toward the orb in the center of the pedestal with a look of familiarity.
That orb was one of the few tools in the known cultivation world that could measure the talent of one's soul, the Pure Soul Orb!
Li Ling's gaze slid over it lazily, but his mind wasn't idle.
This was the same Pure Soul Orb that great sects used across the continent, at least those at the middle rank and above where it mattered.
Obviously, a mere lower sect with a cap at the third realm wouldn't be able to worry about this.
The orb didn't work by inserting one's spirit sense or power, but rather by simply laying one's hand upon it and allowing it to delve into one's very being.
It would ignore the existence of cultivation base and spirit root, reaching directly for the quality and density of the soul, then reveal one's prowess using the colors of the rainbow.
