The Third Sixty-Seventh Chapter: Star Body True Body (III)

"Reilo!"

That day, Pernash hurried over and interrupted Reilo's experiment. Reilo could see the helplessness and apology in his eyes.

"What happened?"

Reilo had a bad feeling.

Pernash hesitated, then said slowly, "Better to let them tell you."

Several people appeared behind him. They were Orn, Xiao Kang, Lola, Angelina, Bailian, Yaqian, Mu Ya, Kedo, and... Sword Saint Biang!

"You all... why are you here?"

The atmosphere was oppressive.

Everyone looked toward Reilo, but Xiao Kang was the first to speak.

"Reilo, the Solar Energy Laboratory... collapsed in the sandstorm while it was being built, when construction reached the nineteenth floor. There was a problem with the structural engineering."

Huh?

Reilo suspected Xiao Kang was joking with him.

A research institute's tower was the culmination of scholars' wisdom.

Several centuries ago, such towering buildings had indeed posed a major challenge to scholars.

The higher a building stood, the stronger the winds it had to withstand. At several hundred meters above the ground, buildings faced winds of at least force ten almost constantly!

The reason scholars kept building taller research institutes was the Energy Source!

The Energy Source drew in a rare kind of energy from high in the sky and processed it through a series of operations. It then became the research tower's massive power supply, replacing the need to consume huge amounts of energy crystals.

On top of that, the Energy Source spread a mysterious magnetic field, expanding the signal range of Crystal Balls. This allowed Crystal Balls within the field to connect freely, rather than being limited to a few hundred meters, as they were at Red Ridge.

But as structural engineering advanced, research institutes kept growing taller. The Energy Sources grew stronger, and their magnetic fields expanded.

And now Xiao Kang was saying that the Solar Energy
