Thanks to my Soul pupils, I got to skip most of the basics of array formation mastery, mainly explaining how to deduce nature's soul pathways by observing nature. I didn't need that stuff as I could see the soul pathways of nature itself. But still, I had the Hive AI save all the information and had my slave consciousness go through them and get well versed in them. Because knowing how regular array formation masters work, think, and understand the array formation would help me make copyrights of my findings in detail.

The reason I am not able to pump copyrights for card recipes is that I do not know the techniques and methods used by regular card creationists, so I can not put my card recipe in wording that a typical card creationist can understand. My lack of knowledge regarding card creation techniques and methods are hindering me from sharing my knowledge with the world for a fee, of course.

I did not want the same thing to happen with array formations. In the case of card creation, I did not have the appropriate materials for learning its various techniques and methods. Still, in the case of the array formation, I had notes written by the world-class array master Raining Alchemist containing a detailed explanation of various basic, intermediate, and advanced techniques and methods of arranging an array formation.

I had to learn and get well versed in each technique and method to arrange basic, intermediate, and advanced array formation and share my discoveries with the world at a sky-high price. My soul pupils were a boon for humanity, and I had to make use of them for the good of humankind as long as it paid handsomely.

Assigning my three slave consciousnesses to master the technique and method to arrange basic, intermediate, and advanced array formation, I jumped from the theoretical phase of array formation to the practical phase.

For the practical phase of the array formation, I decided to start with the basic array formations, such as heater array formation and cooler array formation. As their name suggests, the heater array formations acted similar to heaters by warming the surrounding atmosphere. In contrast, the cooler array formation worked similar to a cooler by cooling the surrounding atmosphere.

Both these array formations were low-level temporary array formations. In my current realm, I didn't even need a core to arrange these array formations. Since I didn't need extra ingredients for experimentation, I began experimenting with both the arrays right away.

I chose the heater array formation as my first subject for experimentation. The concept behind this was simple. First, I needed to determine the range of my array formation. For experiment purposes, I limited the range to the cabin. Then I needed to isolate the temperature-related soul pathways in nature, empower them with soul energy and modify them using my mental strength to increase the temperature in the cabin. Making the cabin warner. As long as I continue to supply my soul energy to the soul pathways, the temperature in the cabin will be warmer. But if it were to rain suddenly, the array formation I set up would crumble due to the change in nature, especially the temperature soul pathway.

…

Deep inside the temporary military base, in the array formation core region, Lorenzo continued to multitask between monitoring the array formation covering the base and his regular research. But he suddenly felt a change in nature's soul pathway within the military base. Alerted, Lorenzo immediately checked the area of disturbance.

To his surprise, Lorenzo peeped at Wyatt, experimenting with the low-level basic heater array formation. The astonishing thing was for some who claimed to be a rookie, Wyatt was able to arrange a perfect heater array formation using himself as a core. This was an expert-level achievement. If not for Lorenzo, having personally gone through Wyatt's history, he would not believe that Wyatt was a rookie when it came to array formation.

"It must be due to his Aura sight origin card." Lorenzo credited Wyatt's achievement in the array formation to Wyatt's origin card. Still, he was intrigued by Wyatt's achievement, so he decided to continue peeping at Wyatt.

But the old fool did not know that soon, the reality as he knew it would be shattered.

…

Done experimenting with heater array formation, I felt like I was being watched. I decided to use my Gigamite physique's ability 'I spy you.' But I couldn't use it. Then I knew that I was being monitored by the array formation covering the military base. Since the Array formation's grade is very high compared to my realm, my ability 'I Spy You' was rendered useless.

But I had a good guess why the array formation covering the base was monitoring me all of a sudden. It must have sensed the disturbance in nature's soul pathway from my location as I experimented with array formation. And I was sure the person controlling the array formation covering the military base was old man Lorenzo.

I hated old Lorenzo peeking into my privacy, but I decided to act as if I had not realized his peeking. And continued with my experimentation.

Next, I decided to arrange the Cooler array formation. Limiting the boundary of the array formation to the cabin, I isolated the temperature-related soul pathways, empowered them with soul energy, and modified them to decrease the temperature in the cabin, making the cabin chilly.

Arranging the cabin heater and cooler array formation one after the other, I had the idea to combine both the array formation to get an effect similar to a thermostat. But it was easier said than done.

There is a reason why both heater and cooler array formations aren't combined to form a single array formation to reap the benefits of both the array formation so far. It is not because the other array masters haven't thought about it.
