Chapter 37: Extracting Chakra
"Huh, sand?"
On the construction site outside the City of Light, a young man curiously grabbed a handful of fine sand on the ground, and asked the worker next to him with some confusion: "Hey, do you think that there has been more sand on the construction site recently?" We don't have a lot of sand on this site, do we? β
The worker who was working hard wiped the sweat from his forehead and said indifferently: "Maybe the sandbags that were transported over there have leaked one or two bags here, it's not a big deal, just a little sand." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Compared to this ......," the worker pointed to a tall tower not far away that had begun to take shape, "We have undertaken the task of building the tower on time, and if we can't complete it on time, our contribution will be reduced!" You kid, have you saved enough contributions? β
The young man smiled wryly: "How is it possible, I still have old people to take care of at home, although there is a subsidy issued by the organization, how can it be so easy to save enough to exchange the contribution of Chakra Refining Technique?" β
"Then you don't want to work quickly?!" The worker said angrily, "Give me a hand!" β
"Yes, Senpai!" The young man hurriedly threw away the sand he was holding, but he didn't notice that the handful of sand he had thrown away was moving slowly in a certain direction.

"Meow!"
In Ming Yuan's office, a small tanuki was jumping excitedly on a mountain of papers.
"Hey, don't blame me for not reminding you, you'll have to work for another year if you knock down a document." Ming Yuan, who was immersed in reviewing the documents, did not raise his head and said.
The tanuki exploded in an instant, jumped down cautiously, and sat obediently on Ming Yuan's table licking its paws.
"Shouhe, it's been a month, aren't you used to it? Need to be so excited? Ming Yuan was quite puzzled.
Shouhe snorted disdainfully: "Just humans, are you also delusional about my thoughts?" Oh, that's arrogant. β
"But for the sake of you letting me move freely and building a shrine for me, it's not that you can't be forgiven."
Ming Yuan stroked his forehead: "I've said it many times, that tower is not a shrine. In a way, it's not much different from the altar that imprisons you in the Sand Ninja Village. β
"It's the demon that devours your chakra."
Shouhe laughed wildly: "Devouring my chakra? Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous! β
"Sure enough, no matter how powerful a human being is, he is a short-sighted creature after all, and your so-called huge consumption is nothing but dust in front of my endless chakra! Wow, the contract has been decided, even you can't go back! Meow, what a pleasure! β
Ming Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "It's good if you think you're happy, anyway, I'll keep the agreement." Twenty years later, you'll be free, and as long as you don't cause chaos, I won't restrict your play. β
"If you think you've made it, then feel like that."
With that, Ming Yuan waved his hand, and after a fluctuation in the space, he swallowed Shouhe.
"Now let's play and don't bother me to correct the documents."
"By the way, don't blame me for not reminding you, I don't care what you're playing all over the mountains, but if you want people to see your real body, hehe, you can try."
Rubbing his eyebrows, Ming Yuan looked at the tall tower outside the window that had already been built, and then continued to work with his head.
β¦β¦
A month later.
"Meow!"
"I've been here many times, but I'm really satisfied with my shrine. At least in terms of space, it's a lot more than that damn gourd, huhu, and straw, as far as mortals are concerned, you're already very god-respecting. β
"Meow, what are you doing, blasphemous? Don't put me down yet, meow! β
Ming Yuan sighed: "It's also a dignified tail, why is it that except for the real body that is a little bigger, he can play with some sand and follow the trend, and nothing else is different from a tanuki?" β
He took the fur from the back of the crane's neck and threw it in the middle of the tower.
There, a mysterious instrument sits silently, with a chain of magical runes attached to its terminal.
The moment he saw the chain, Shouhe let out an angry roar: "Roar! β
"Chains! I hate chains, humans, do you want to imprison the Children of the Wind?! β
Ming Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "Technical limitations, although it is a bit old-fashioned, but the style of the chain is the most suitable for inscribed runes." Or do you want something else? Like a stick, like a rope? Well, well, it's not much different from chains. β
"Okay, okay, don't get too entangled, the style of the chain is the most popular recently, super fashionable. If you think about the other tailed beasts, they are all locked in the cell in the body of the human pillar force, but you can have a chain, how fashionable it is, all of a sudden it is higher than the eight-tailed and nine-tailed ones. β
Shouhe let out a low roar, and the tyrannical beast pupils stared at Ming Yuan: "Human, remember your promise, twenty years!" β
"If you dare to break your promise, death will reap your soul!"
"Hey, hey, hey, then please connect that instrument, and then we're going to start pumping chakras." Ming Yuan squinted his eyes and said.
Shoutsuru let out an angry roar, then slowly connected the chain to itself.
"Well, get ready, the amount of chakra drawn will be quite large."
"Three, two, one, go!"
The sheen of metal swirled across the instrument, and the magical runes on the chains lit up one after the other, when the runes on the entire chain were fully functional......
"Roar!"
A violent roar came from Shouzuru's mouth, and the wind and sand raged through the tower like a riot.
"Hey, hey, hey, Shouhe, have you reached the limit of the amount of chakra you can extract? Am I overestimating your chakra output capabilities? Hey, bear with me a little bit, I'll go and turn down the absorption power a little bit. Ming Yuan stepped forward a little confused.
"Haha, haha, hahaha! Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak! Shouhe's beast pupils suddenly dilated, "This is the imagination of you and other humans?" β
"Want, want, want, too much! Is that all you know about the power of our tailed beasts? β
"The chakra that was drawn? Thou hast said a lot, but it seems to me that it is very little! β
Ming Yuan sighed helplessly: "Is it so exciting to be like this, it's really a shame to be like this." β
He waved his hand: "Then, please do it next." If you output the required amount of chakra every day, I'll play wherever you want. β
In response to Ming Yuan, it was the more and more violent chakra that erupted around Shouhe. A pale blue chakra stream was flowing out of that instrument, transporting it to all parts of the City of Light along several rune-covered spells!
