He slung an arm over Wang Shuo’s shoulder and celebrated with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fans in the stands rewarded them with the most fervent applause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three wins in a row!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riding this recent winning streak, Mainz built up astonishing momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if everyone was seeing a return of the unstoppable Mainz from the first half of the season!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The results of the other matches in this round also came in one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuerth drew 1-1 at home against Paderborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team at the bottom of the league still hadn’t given up hope of avoiding relegation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borussia Mönchengladbach defeated Offenbach 7-1 away from home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Offenbach was very unhappy with this result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because during the match, the head referee, Seipel, had given Offenbach two red cards and awarded Borussia Mönchengladbach two penalties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without those calls, Borussia Mönchengladbach might not have walked away with a win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freiburg, for their part, defeated Munich 1860 3-0 away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The match this round that Mainz paid the most attention to was Dom’s Cologne hosting Rangnick’s Hoffenheim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides were tied 1-1 at halftime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the second half, Cologne scored two goals in quick succession in the 66th and 69th minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dom’s team defeated Hoffenheim 3-1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After 31 rounds of matches, Borussia Mönchengladbach was still in the lead with 60 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cologne defeated Hoffenheim and, with 54 points, came from behind to take second place in the 2nd Bundesliga.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoffenheim had 53 points, ranking third.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainz was fourth with 52 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freiburg also had 52 points but was ranked 5th due to goal difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuerth, however, only had 48 points and had basically lost all hope of promotion to the Bundesliga.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only 3 rounds left in the 2nd Bundesliga, the race for promotion was becoming increasingly intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it stood, the top 5 teams were all fighting for the 3 promotion spots to the Bundesliga.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though a team like Borussia Mönchengladbach was basically secure, there was still a theoretical possibility of them slipping up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the team returned to the locker room, Klopp once again singled out Wang Shuo for praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mainz players were already used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klopp singling out Wang Shuo for praise after the last three league matches had already become a regular occurrence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Wang Shuo’s performance really had been excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scoring in three consecutive matches was truly stunning for a player who was only 17 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last young player to score in three consecutive 2nd Bundesliga matches was the German native striker for Jena, Nils Peterson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a core player in Germany’s national youth system, Peterson had scored in rounds 15, 16, and 17 of this season.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, he had made 17 appearances in the 2nd Bundesliga and scored only 4 goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Peterson was already 19 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the best-performing young player this season was arguably Borussia Mönchengladbach’s 19-year-old starlet, Marco Marin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his goal against Offenbach this round, Marin had also only scored 3 goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had 11 assists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his record over 28 matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Wang Shuo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>matches, 3 goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of efficiency was astounding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Mainz team, among players under 20, Wang Shuo was second only to his good friend, Subotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 19-year-old Subotic had scored 4 goals, one more than Wang Shuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief comparison made it clear just how impressive Wang Shuo’s performance was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving Klopp’s praise was something he deserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Klopp left to attend the post-match press conference, Wang Shuo accepted congratulations from his surrounding teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the exception of Borja, basically everyone was happy about Wang Shuo’s excellent performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That included forwards like Balik and Boakye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all hoped the team could ride this momentum and return to the Bundesliga.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having showered and changed, Wang Shuo used his free time to enter the Ball God System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the post-match summary, he had, as expected, received another 3 points of Passive Value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, his Passive Value was exactly 50 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately applied these 50 points of Passive Value to the giant football in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use 50 Passive Value to obtain one Passive Skill Card. Draw now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo stood waiting, full of anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched as the football spun, starting slow, speeding up, then slowing down again before finally stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he clearly saw the information on the pentagonal face that stopped in front of him, he was completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, you have drawn a special passive skill: [Damage Reduction].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A special passive skill?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo’s mind was blown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Just a moment ago, he was wondering what the heck these things were.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And now he’d drawn one?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damage Reduction: Greatly reduces the probability of injury.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wang Shuo focused his attention on it, this simple sentence made him so excited he nearly jumped out of his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the name implied, Damage Reduction reduced the probability of injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was a *great* reduction at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My God, a passive skill like this actually exists?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo could hardly believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately noticed something else special about the [Damage Reduction] passive skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From [Breathing] to [Insight] to [Swift], and finally to [Ball Sense], all of them had levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Professional Level or Regional Level, and there should be even higher levels.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the special thing about [Damage Reduction] was that it had no level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does this mean its special quality is that once it’s drawn, it’s already max level?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That’s insane!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve hit the jackpot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a professional soccer rookie who had just left the beginner’s zone, what did Wang Shuo fear the most?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Injuries!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many young players had been taken down by injuries?\u003C\u002Fp>",966,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.829Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","20ed88df9ffe3c4850f253a25f10adec2424dc11ec213f98d97f1f5f99c6d38a","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-47","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-45",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
