The Tycoon Inheritance [SaMpLe]

18.

All was resolved.

He conquered them all.

AN accomplished smile was plastered on his face as he thought of this. Though he was stubborn at first, he realized why the system pushed him to face his past.

He was thankful for it.

During his internal monologue, he felt the activation of the teleportation array. His next steps were planned. Now that his mind was stabilized, he had to choose a fitting cultivation technique for his mind body, and soul. 

The traveling between worlds will affect one's soul no matter how strong it is. His current body was trained in light exercise techniques, it won't be harmful to take it up a notch. 

"That takes care of all three. I guess wrapping up college life is next. Hmmm, gaining a few honors will be ideal. Should I look for a job or play around a bit as a taxi driver? That seems fun last time."

Chen Kai playfully mused about the things he can do for fun with his new life while waiting to be transported out of the pagoda.

Feeling the energy dissipate from the array, he opened his eyes. His brows furrowed tightly in confusion when he saw a bare white ceiling and two handling lights above him.

"Eh? Where's the dark skies and mystical pagodas? This is not in my plans," he complained. He planned to get to work as soon as he left the MindScape.

An amused chuckle alerted him of another presence in the room. He quickly sat up and came face to face with a mirror.

Not an actual mirror, per say, but an identical phantom.

Chen Kai was confused. 

Why was there a phantom of this life? He didn't die nor was there much change. What's going on?

"You're at 95% stability. The remaining 5% is with me. The last of my memories."

Chen Kai folded his legs beneath him and looked at the identical phantom who was seated the same way on the single bed pushed in the corner. He led his eyes to look at the room he was in. This was Chen Kai's old bedroom at his home in Zhejiang Province. It was cramped but clean. The walls were painted in a subtle grey, a battered bureau was beside the bed, and opposite it was a second-hand desk with a cheap lamp on it. There was no carpet on the concrete floor, only a faded rug by the bed that had seen better days. 

One look can tell anyone what was his position in his household.

He returned his attention to the phantom. This one was different.

It didn't pair them as one but differentiated itself when speaking.

Interesting. The phantom is probably a remnant of the original Chen Kai's soul.

He looked at the man carefully. He was truly looking at a mirror. Though his complexion was slightly darker, it didn't take away from his handsome features. From his black whimsy hair to his dark starry eyes - Chen Kai bore incredible genes and was nurtured carefully from young. 

He frowned.

"It seems like you gained a bit more insight into my true background," the phantom said. His smile was plain. There was no feeling behind those words. It led Chen Kai to believe that he had no interest in what he left behind.

"If one was to look deeper, they will find it too."

The phantom nodded.

The two lapsed into silence once more. It wasn't uncomfortable, it was simply filled with curiosity. This was a phenomenon. Two souls of one body were communicating.
