Power Progression

Appearance

• Xuan Zi compares the taste of a Pure World Overlord’s Leg to poached chicken, while praising its distinctive texture 18.

Abilities & Skills

Ordinary Overlord Drumstick

• Strengthens the eater’s blood, vitality, and physical strength 1 9.
• Can be produced without a Soul Skill, but production consumes Gao Ren’s Soul Power 1 4.
• Gao Ren fries and sells the drumsticks in Shrek Academy’s Outer Court cafeteria for 25 Gold Soul Coins each, plus one coin for frying 7 8.

Overlord’s Belly-Filling Leg

• Grants a feeling of fullness lasting up to ten days and provides a second Soul Power reserve equal in capacity to the eater’s normal supply. The reserve replenishes Soul Power as it is spent; exhausting it ends the fullness early 3.
• Makes Xuan Zi feel full for the first time in more than two hundred years, and works even on Di Tian in his enormous dragon form 4 23.
• Does not prevent the eater from continuing to eat, though fullness can make further food less satisfying 4 23.

Pure World Overlord’s Leg

• Cleanses harmful conditions. It removes the sinister quality of the Evil Fire in Ma Xiaotao’s body, but only suppresses the Evil Fire within her Martial Soul 19 20.
• Purifies the savage aura of Mu En’s Dragon Core, though it cannot undo the lasting damage to his spine 21 22.
• Shows a slight beneficial effect on the Silver Dragon King’s lingering injury, prompting her to seek a steady supply 24.

Story Role

• Gao Ren’s drumsticks become well known at Shrek Academy through cafeteria sales and help draw attention to his value as a support-type Soul Master 7 10 12.
• During a confrontation in the Star Dou Great Forest, Gao Ren offers Overlord Drumsticks to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Scarlet King. Their ensuing feast helps settle the dispute without a fight 15.
• Gao Ren later makes more than 50,000 drumsticks of all three kinds for the two Soul Beasts. Repeated production and Soul Power recovery leave him severely exhausted 19.
• The food reaches Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King, extending interest in Gao Ren’s Martial Soul beyond Shrek Academy 23 24.
