Living With My Lady Boss

One, two, three notches, then three and a half notches!

The crowd gasped in astonishment when they saw that and burst into applause. Wilbur chose to stop at that moment, as the current notches surpassed Herbert's three notches. He knew that if he could later control the dimensional time to reverse by two notches, victory would be his.

Wilbur had only used half a minute at that point. He reached the three-and-a-half notch in only half the time it took Herbert, clearly demonstrating that his skills were superior.

Everyone had high hopes for Wilbur. However, while he was able to control the clock hand to move forward, he had never previously done anything to make the time flow in reverse. Consequently, he was not very familiar with this aspect.

However, since there were still four and a half minutes left, Wilbur believed he should have no problem and could easily pass the test and secure first place.

Herbert glanced at Sade with an apologetic look in his eyes at that moment. Sade did not speak, he only turned to look at Wilbur. Then, Wilbur began the second phase of the test, focusing on controlling the reversal of dimensional time.

Time began to reverse with Wilbur's will. An invisible force of dimensional energy moved the clock hand in the counterclockwise direction. A quarter of a notch, then half a notch. Wilbur felt quite pleased to see that. Reversing time was considerably more challenging than advancing it, but it remained relatively easy for Wilbur.

However, a peculiar force emerged just as Wilbur believed he was certain to win the competition. Suddenly, the enhancement of energy within the cubic space disappeared, and the dimensional time gradually slowed down. The clock hand that had been moving counterclockwise almost ceased to move as it reached three-quarters of a notch.

"Um... Could it be that he reached his limit?" a contestant asked.

"I think it's highly possible," someone replied.

"So, if he can only reach three-quarters of a notch, who will win between him and Herbert?" he asked again.

"Herbert will win because Mister Sade said so. If the forward movement is the same or differs by only half a notch, then the contestant who controls the furthest backward movement wins," someone else replied.

The crowd buzzed with discussion, but Wilbur did not dare to relax even for a moment. He could sense that the invisible force was steadily increasing, seemingly aimed at suppressing him.

The sealing power on his left chest was unleashed at that moment, and a surge of dark energy poured into his body. The clock hand began to move again, but when it reached one notch, the resistance intensified several times, causing the clock hand to almost come to a standstill.noveldrama

The illusions of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise appeared around Wilbur at that moment. The illusion of the Golden Dragon also manifested above his head.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by the furious roar of the Golden Dragon, Wilbur continued to push the clock hand despite the immense suppression. The clock hand moved to one- quarter notch, then to one-half notch, and finally reached the three-quarters notch.

Boom!

The cubic space exploded at that moment. A powerful energy surged outward, so the referee quickly checked on him by asking, "Are you alright, Wilbur Penn?" "I'm fine," replied Wilbur.

"Good," the referee said. He checked the clock hand on Wilbur's hand. It showed one and three-quarters notches, which was a quarter notch more than Herbert's one-and-a-half notches.

The referee informed Sade of the result. Sade had to admit the result despite his unwillingness at that moment. He would undoubtedly become a laughingstock as a dimensional guardian if he did not acknowledge Wilbur's capabilities.
