They shouldn’t be wasted, but instead used to sharpen his abilities as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he figured [Eagle Eye] wouldn’t let him down in the long run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His experience with [Coordination] was a good example of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked unremarkable, but its effect was actually huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drawing [Eagle Eye], Wang Shuo still had 217 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to give himself a massive upgrade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you wish to upgrade the Passive Skill [Ball Sense] from Regional Level to National Level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you wish to upgrade the Passive Skill [Swift] from Regional Level to National Level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you wish to upgrade the Passive Skill [Spiritual Light] from Professional Level to Regional Level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you wish to upgrade the Passive Skill [First Move] from Professional Level to Regional Level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He upgraded four Passive Skills in one go. A tingling sensation coursed through his entire body—it felt absolutely incredible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo checked his stats. After the upgrades, several of his most important Active Skills—including his first touch, Shooting, positioning, and Breakthrough—had all reached the National Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt completely transformed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what surprised Wang Shuo was that his free kick ability, an Active Skill, had also reached the National Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that as long as Wang Shuo practiced diligently, he could master the art of the free kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Holy shit, this is absolutely incredible!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo truly hadn’t expected such a pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Free kicks were a crucial skill that every top scorer had to master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I have to practice it!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I absolutely have to practice it!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Practice is one thing, but right now, Mainz’s number one free-kick taker is still Hainauer.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the first half of the Bundesliga season, every team in the league would definitely be targeting him in the second half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would ignore the top scorer of the first half of the season!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to secret weapons, the more the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can never have too many skills, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, while the potential of his Active Skills had increased, he still needed to put in the hard work during daily training to cash in on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for a grinder like Wang Shuo, that wasn’t an issue at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo had a faint feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suspected that the improvements to his free kicks, Shooting, and other skills were closely related to [Eagle Eye].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he’d have to test that theory in training and matches to be sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「 」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early in the morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, Wang Shuo was already up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing up, just as he was about to leave, he happened to see Zhao Yifan from the next room also opening his door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before Andrei went home, he told me you get up early every day for extra training. It’s really true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Schürrle had started his vacation and gone home to spend Christmas with his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was going to let you rest more and adjust to the time difference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo chuckled at Zhao Yifan. \"Since you’re up, let’s go together. I’m sure you’ve never seen Mainz in the early morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them quickly went out for a run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The early winter mornings in Germany were cold, with heavy fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main roads were deserted—not a person, not even a car in sight. Even the street cleaners hadn’t started their shifts yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them, wrapped in tracksuits, ran at a brisk pace along the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They first ran a lap around Mainz University, and Wang Shuo even pointed out the place where he used to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, they ran to the vicinity of the Old Town District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Mainz player, there were some places one definitely had to know, like the Market Square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is where our fans gather. On days when we have away games, you’ll almost always find fans congregating here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any championship wins or other major celebrations happen right here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Bruch Road Stadium is our home ground, it’s too small to hold this many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running for some time, they reached the famous Rhine Riverfront and saw the world-renowned Caesar Bridge spanning the Rhine River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Germany’s administrative divisions are actually rather peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rhine River is the dividing line between the states of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It cuts diagonally through the center of Mainz from northwest to southeast, splitting the city in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Caesar Bridge connects the two sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here’s the peculiar part: the east bank of the Rhine River belongs to the state of Hesse, with its capital at Wiesbaden. Meanwhile, the west bank belongs to Rhineland-Palatinate, with its capital at Mainz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This creates a strange situation. Three districts on the east bank of the Rhine are just a river’s breadth away from Mainz proper. They even have \"Mainz\" in their names and are geographically closer to it, yet they are administered by Wiesbaden, the capital of Hesse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Schürrle, the locals in Mainz have always felt the city can’t expand because those three districts were \"swallowed\" by Wiesbaden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why whenever Mainz plays against Wiesbaden, they always give it their all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, right, and there’s also Frankfurt and Darmstadt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two cities are also very close to Mainz. Frankfurt, as a neighboring city, far surpasses Mainz in terms of fame, influence, and economic strength.\u003C\u002Fp>",1034,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.829Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","d8fc25653fedad3fdc0449fda8126c4cc93b3f1a3eb4ed0f40c63aaa394a4572","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-165","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-163",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
