Chapter 89 Mutant, but a Negative Mutation
Seeing the little fire minotaur's confused expression, Xu Xian became even more interested.
"That means if you follow me, I can train and develop you to be much stronger than you are now, at least a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times stronger."
The little fire minotaur blinked its big eyes again.
His not-so-bright brain managed to understand Xu Xian's meaning.
Can I become stronger too?
The little fire minotaur remembered his older brothers and sisters who used to live with him.
Each of them was strong and muscular, but this one was smaller than the others from a young age, and its development was even slower.
My older brothers and sisters were already over 1.9 or 2 meters tall some time ago, but it was barely 1 meter tall, and it could only break through this limitation by relying on its pair of big horns.
"Moo! Moo?"
The little fire minotaur pointed to his thin arms and legs and asked, "Can I also have powerful muscles?"
Just as Xu Xian was about to answer, a voice came from a loudspeaker a few meters away.
"Visitor number 315, Visitor number 315, please proceed to the waiting room! Please proceed to the waiting room!"
Xu Xian was startled upon hearing this.
He took out his ticket; he was number 315, while Zhou Li was number 316.
That's the voice of the staff member who came in. What does he want from me?
Xu Xian was puzzled.
He moved off the rock, half-squatted down, and extended his right hand to the little fire minotaur, saying, "Want to try it with me?"
The little fire minotaur looked at Xu Xian's serious face, then at his hands.
The little fire minotaur didn't think too much about it. Since this human said so, he would give it a try.
The simple, little fire-breathing minotaur extended his left hoof-shaped hand and shook hands with Xu Xian.
Xu Xian was quite excited; it had actually worked.
This little guy is so easy to fool.
He scooped up the little fire minotaur and held him in his arms.
The little fire minotaur is a pure fire elemental, with a very high body temperature, making Xu Xian feel as if he were holding a small fireball for a moment.
But the intense heat quickly disappeared, leaving only a warm, gentle temperature. The little fireball became like a large toy doll, quite comfortable to hold.
The little fire minotaur looked at Xu Xian's face.
This is the first time someone has ever seen it with such a genuine smile.
Xu Xian was not surprised by the changes in body temperature of the little fire minotaur.
As a top student, he naturally knew that the Little Flame Minotaur's body temperature would change depending on how friendly he was to strangers.
If they consider you an enemy, even the hair on the skin of a little fire minotaur can be used as a branding iron.
So Xu Xian's hug really increased the little fire minotaur's favorability.
All I can say is that he's a really simple guy.
Xu Xian picked up the little fire minotaur and walked outside.
A short while later, Xu Xian entered a 150-square-meter waiting room.
The waiting room was simply furnished. When Xu Xian arrived, the staff introduced him, saying, "Hello, this is Mr. Tong Xintong, the head of the Spirit Beast Breeding Area of Sun Mountain in Fog City."
Tong Xintong was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and simple clothes. He greeted him with a friendly smile, "Hello."
Xu Xian put down the little fire minotaur. The little guy stood obediently to the side, showing no curiosity about the outside world, only his eyes were on Xu Xian, who said he could make it stronger.
Xu Xian said, "Hello, I am Xu Xian. May I ask what business you have with me?"
He glanced sideways at the little fire minotaur.
Unsurprisingly, I came here for this.
Curiosity arose in Xu Xian's heart.
What makes this little fire minotaur special is that it is far smaller than other little fire minotaurs.
His hair and physical development weren't great, but his energy aura was relatively stable. His initial energy level was probably in the early to mid-advanced stage, but Xu Xian couldn't pinpoint exactly where it was.
He looked at Tong Xintong, the person in charge of the cultivation area.
Tongxin Channel: "Mr. Xu, I have no objection to you taking it, but there is one thing we must tell you."
He gestured for Xu Xian to enter.
Xu Xian followed him to the side.
Tong Xintong took out a document.
Xu Xian took it from his hand.
Upon opening the file, I found various data and information about the Little Flame Minotaur.
Tong Xintong gave a wink to the staff member, who then gestured to the little flame minotaur and said in a friendly tone, "They have something to say. Let's wait outside until they're finished."
The little fire minotaur, unsuspecting, went outside with the staff.
inside the house.
Xu Xian flipped through the documents.
One glance at it and my brows furrowed.
Tongxin Channel: "This little fire minotaur is our fifth-generation spirit beast, and also our only mutant. You should know what a mutant is, right?"
Xu Xian nodded and continued looking at the document. The information showed that the Little Flame Minotaur's physique was "weak".
Tong Xintong continued, "There are two types of mutants. One type has amazing talent and can easily unleash abilities that exceed the limits of their own race's level. The other type is a weakened mutant."
"Its parents were not pure Great Flame Minotaurs. In our mating and breeding, its batch, which was the fifth generation, was born from the mating of a male Great Flame Minotaur at the peak of the leader level and a female Prison Minotaur at the early stage of the leader level."
"That batch was larger than ever before, with a total of five normally developing little fire minotaurs. If you include the last one born, that makes six, a unique occurrence in history."
Speaking of this, the child with a deep sigh said, "It was because of this that the Prison Bull Demon's health was greatly reduced due to the birth of too many Little Flame Minotaurs. He even died after giving birth to this Little Flame Minotaur."
It seems that because the Prison Bull Demon himself had run out of energy when he became pregnant with this sixth child, this little fire minotaur was born extremely weak.
Xu Xian frowned. "Didn't you notice the problem with the imprisoned Bull Demon?"
The Prison Bull Demon is a top-grade bronze-level spirit beast with both dark and fire attributes. It is an extremely powerful spirit beast with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and is even rarer than the Golden Ape.
Tong Xintong sighed, "Actually, many people in the breeding area don't want the Prison Bull Demon to give birth to the sixth one, that is, the little Flame Bull-headed man, and they are trying to find ways to get rid of him."
After giving birth to five baby fire minotaurs, the Prison Bull Demon's body suffered unavoidable damage to its very essence. Its body simply couldn't support the birth of its sixth offspring.
But no matter how much they pleaded, they were just short of resorting to underhanded tactics.
The Minotaur, not wanting the fetus to die before seeing the world, forced it to be born before our actions.
Therefore, it was born weak, and its development lagged far behind that of other spirit beasts of the same age, let alone its five older brothers and sisters.
Xu Xian nodded and continued flipping through the documents.
It contains a large amount of data on the small flame bullhead.
Tong Xintong glanced at it and said, "Old Six's body is born with defects and cannot accommodate some nutrients. No, it should be said that his body does not support him to become stronger. He is clearly a little fire minotaur, but the ratio of fire attribute to dark attribute in his body has always been five to five. More importantly, one of these two energies always wants to suppress the other. It is not as balanced as the five-to-five ratio is shown. Instead, it always wants to devour the other and monopolize Old Six's body."
In addition, the sixth child, who was born weak, also had a lower racial level due to insufficient innate nutrition absorbed from being forcibly born.
A positive mutation breaks through the racial limit, while a normal mutation maintains the racial level standard; a negative mutation, however, breaks through the racial lower limit.
