”...” I watched as Lorenzo contemplated how the techniques used to control the size of soul pathways in an array be used to replace the techniques used to empower the soul pathways.

The techniques used in the heater and cooler array empower the temperature soul pathway with soul energy, allowing it to swell and shrink on the array masterʼs mental command.

Using soul energy to empower a soul pathway is different from using soul energy to change the size of the soul pathway. Therefore, Lorenzo could not understand how such other techniques could achieve a similar effect.

The regular array master doesnʼt understand that by empowering temperature soul pathways, they are not empowering the heat and cold part of the temperature soul pathways individually. This misconception stemmed from the fact that they believe there are two individual temperature soul pathways. One for heat and the other for cold. Therefore, they think that by using the heater array formation, they empower the heat-related temperature soul pathway, and using the cooler array formation, they empower the cold-related temperature soul pathway.

Lorenzo thought the same, so he could not understand why the techniques used in arranging arrays to modify the size of the soul pathways would be used as a replacement for empower technique in a heater or cooler array.

”Wyatt, I donʼt understand?” Lorenzo no longer called me a brat or a boy. Instead, he called me by my name. I could see he was starting to respect me.

This was a huge change in Lorenzoʼs attitude towards me. At first, he looked at me as if I was a tool, a tool to be enslaved for the royal family. But now I can feel that he was considering me as a person. I guess it is true that you can get anyone to acknowledge you if you use their language. And Lorenzoʼs language was Array formation.

”How about I demonstrate the array formation array again. This time you know what to look for. Try focusing on sensing the soul pathways and the effect of the techniques I used while the room temperature switches between heat and cold.” I advised old Lorenzo and began arranging the temperature control array as a temporary array.

”...” Old Lorenzo nodded to my advice, and closing his eyes, he tried to sense the changes in the temperature soul pathways as the room temperature switched between heat, and cold. He continued to immerse in feeling the changes in soul pathways and mumbled in confusion,” There are only one type of soul pathways in the array, but they are able to give both heat and cold energy. Wait!”

”Fuck! We were wrong all along. So there are no separate individual soul pathways for heat and cold temperature.” Upon sudden realization, Lorenzo could help but yell in excitement. Impatient Lorenzo, having sensed the temperature, soul pathways are not divided into two types. Got excited before sensing the effect of the size of the soul pathways as the room temperature switched between heat and cold.

”Old fool! You are missing the important part, the effect of the size of the soul pathway on the temperature change. Shut your hole and focus.” I maintained the temperature control array and reminded Lorenzo to focus on the critical part rather than celebrating too early.

”Sorry, I will get right to it.” Old Lorenzo apologized. That was first. It seems Array formation is really the soft spot of his heart.

”Um… so thatʼs how it is, huh? When the temperature soul pathways swell, the temperature increases. And when it narrows, temperature decreases.” Lorenzo said after finding the key to temperature control. Unlike me, Lorenzo cannot see natureʼs soul pathways, but he can sense them with his strong connection with nature and other unusual cards with the ability to gain insight and sense soul pathways. As a prominent array master, Lorenzo will definitely have such cards. For example, the Gore batʼs ear bone which allows the user to feel the vibrations of the soul pathways.

”Correct! But to put it neatly, itʼs the expansion and contraction of the temperature soul pathways that cause the cold and heat effect in the surroundings.” I said. I, too, felt excited seeing the enthusiasm in Lorenzo upon making discoveries in temperature soul pathways.

”This is a groundbreaking discovery. This changes everything. Fuck! Its applications are countless. This is going to be huge.” Lorenzoʼs excitement grew with every passing second. He seems to be imagining how this discovery would affect the field of array formation. There are many array formations where temperature soul pathways are made use. This discovery will affect all of them.

”Old man, calm down. Now that you know how I could arrange a temperature control array formation as a temporary array formation, please leave.” I wanted to return to experimenting with other low-level temporary arrays because being able to control my surroundings with my thoughts was fun.

”Leave? How can I leave now? Didnʼt I promise to help you with your paper? Letʼs get right to it. I will not only help you write the paper but publish it in all the renowned outlets.” Lorenzo wanted me to publish the paper as soon as possible and share the discovery with the world. But I disagreed with his thoughts.

”Are you dumb? Old man, if you keep giving me such dumb ideas, then please leave.” I said sternly.

”What? How is publishing the paper on your research a dumb Idea?” Lorenzo asked, feeling wronged. Young researchers would lose an arm or foot to have him help with their paper, but his student called him dumb and threatened to throw him out.

”Donʼt you see it?” I asked Lorenzo

”What? What donʼt I see?” Lorenzo didnʼt seem to get my point.

”Old fool, this is a golden opportunity. Donʼt you see if we use it properly, we can get rich? How can you let such a golden opportunity go to waste? Just because you are impatient to share the discovery with the world.”
