The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills

Chapter 543: Chapter 108: Unexpected Surprise! Domain Skill: Reverser! Wang Shuo’s Golden Ball Ranking! Ferguson and Wenger Scramble for Him

It was simple. By the time everyone else was running on fumes, he’d just be stacking buffs.

’No wonder it’s called Reverser. It only takes effect when the situation is unfavorable!’

But this effect shouldn’t be underestimated.

Its impact was absolutely immeasurable!

Of course, there was still a lot that Wang Shuo didn’t understand.

In his view, whether it was a "comprehensive boost" or a "major boost," it couldn’t possibly be a boost from his peak condition.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that just be a full-on revival?

It had to be a boost to his current condition after his stamina had been depleted.

That was the only thing that made sense.

But Wang Shuo was already known for his stamina. With this added on, he’d be practically a god on the field!

’It’s a shame this Domain Skill is restricted to "during a match." Otherwise, I’d go into track and field.’

Wang Shuo finally understood.

When his [Ball Sense] was upgraded to World-level, it unlocked the [Domain Skill: Controller], but his stamina consumption also grew increasingly high.

Under these circumstances, the [Domain Skill: Reverser], which was unlocked by upgrading [Breathing], was the perfect solution to this shortcoming.

And then there was [Regeneration].

Wang Shuo had never paid much attention to upgrading this passive skill before. He always felt it would be more useful when he was older—at least 25—when his physical functions began to decline from their peak.

But now he saw it wasn’t so simple.

Each of the passive skills complemented the others, all interlinked.

The upgrade from Intercontinental Level to World-level felt more like the Ball God System was tailoring a unique advantage just for him, combining his personality, traits, and abilities.

This was perfectly exemplified by the [Domain Skill: Reverser].

Wang Shuo felt a strong urge to accumulate more Passive Value as quickly as possible and upgrade more Domain Skills.

’When that day comes,’ he thought, ’who in the entire world of football will be able to stop me?’

He was also filled with anticipation.

Upgrading from Intercontinental Level to World-level had unlocked Domain Skills, giving him a unique advantage of his own.

’So what about upgrading from World-level to Legendary Level?’

’What kind of abilities will that unlock?’

’Will it be a further enhancement of my Domain Skills?’

’Or something else entirely?’

Wang Shuo was growing impatient just thinking about it.

He checked his Personal Attribute Panel again. After spending 500 points to upgrade [Breathing], he had 63 points left.

Without hesitation, Wang Shuo invested 50 Passive Value into [Regeneration], instantly upgrading it from Professional Level to Regional Level.

’Maintenance is something you have to start on early. The sooner, the better.’

’It can also prevent injuries and slow the aging process.’

’Looking good is a man’s most important lifelong pursuit!’

...

Dortmund claims the half-season title with a perfect record!

With 31 goals, Wang Shuo surpassed Gerd Müller’s record of 20, becoming the highest-scoring player in a single half-season in Bundesliga history!

These two records sent shockwaves through the entire German Football Scene.

Everyone believed that given Wang Shuo’s and Dortmund’s form this season, breaking Gerd Müller’s single-season record of 40 goals was a foregone conclusion, as long as he avoided injury.

It was only a matter of time.

Bayern, however, was in a miserable state.

Their foundations were being chipped away, and their legendary records were being broken one by one.

It got to the point where Bayern fans were developing PTSD from seeing news about Wang Shuo.

One Bayern fan even wrote a letter to the club’s management, in which they posed a single question.

"Our club, Bayern, claims to have the most knowledgeable management in the world. So why, back in 2009 when we were signing a striker, did we pass on Wang Shuo, who was clearly a rising star, and just watch as he transferred to our archrival, Dortmund?"

"Whether to stifle a rival’s growth or to strengthen our own squad, shouldn’t we have snapped that player up?"

The fan’s letter was published by the media, immediately sparking heated debate among Bayern fans.

Nearly everyone agreed it had been a terrible operational blunder.

Twenty million euros!

Was that expensive?

Not at all!

At the same time, Bayern had spent 30 million euros to sign Mario Gomez.

With Bayern Munich’s financial might, it wouldn’t have even been a choice between the two. They could have signed both strikers without any issue.

But now?

Wang Shuo was leading Dortmund on a rampage through the Bundesliga and the European Football Scene, shattering Bayern’s historical records one after another and tearing down the club’s very foundation.

And what was Bayern doing at this very moment?

Descending into internal chaos!

At this point, more stories and reports began to surface.

For example, back in 2009, Beckenbauer had repeatedly recommended Wang Shuo, believing he had the potential to become the fourth-best player in the world.

"As it turns out, the Football Emperor’s judgment was as sharp as ever. Wang Shuo isn’t just the fourth-best player now!"

As witnesses to the "king of goals" wager, the media and fans tallied the goal-scoring stats of Wang Shuo, Messi, and Ronaldo after every match.

So far, Wang Shuo had 31 goals and 15 assists in the Bundesliga.

He had personally been involved in 46 goals.

Those were numbers many established strikers couldn’t achieve in one season, let alone two!

Meanwhile, in La Liga, both Messi and Ronaldo had also racked up an astonishing number of goals in the first 16 matches.

Messi, who had missed two games due to injury, had scored 22 goals in 14 appearances.

He had been particularly prolific in the last 9 matches, scoring a whopping 19 goals.

Messi also had 9 assists.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, had played all 16 matches, scoring 19 goals and providing 7 assists.
