Identity Swap System, Emperor of Light!

"So, System, are you saying you can let me swap identities with someone?"

On a cliffside in Holy Soul Village, a young man leaned against a large tree, appearing as if he were conversing with someone.

In reality, there was no one else present besides him.

Only the young man knew that a transparent screen, visible only to him, hovered before his eyes.

His name was Ye Yang, a transmigrator. He had started as an orphan, appearing out of thin air with no roots or origins.

Had he not been picked up by Old Jack of Holy Soul Village, he would have starved to death long ago.

He soon realized he had transmigrated into the world of Douluo Dalu, which thrilled him.

After all, he had read plenty of Douluo novels in his past life and knew that every transmigrator's martial soul was ridiculously powerful; he just didn't know what his own would be.

He wasn't picky—a god-tier martial soul would have sufficed—but unfortunately, when he turned six, the result of his awakening was: None.

That's right, no martial soul. Good heavens, even ordinary people without soul power possessed their own martial souls; there had never been an existence like Ye Yang who lacked one entirely.

He then tested his soul power, and that too was non-existent, which felt like a bolt from the blue to his younger self.

Fortunately, Old Jack didn't treat him any differently because of it. They ate and drank as usual; life had to go on, and he didn't harbor any deep-seated grudges.

As time passed, he gradually stopped caring. If he had no martial soul, so be it. He treated this as a second chance at life and simply enjoyed the present.

He had witnessed Tang Hao's arrival and Tang San's awakening, but he remained indifferent, enjoying everything in this world like a tourist.

Tang Hao never paid him any mind either; after all, why would anyone care about a piece of trash without a martial soul?

But today, the System suddenly reached out to him.

Ye Yang was baffled. Hey buddy, you didn't come early or late, you show up when I'm already in my late teens or early twenties? What's the meaning of this?

But since it had arrived, Ye Yang certainly wouldn't let the opportunity slip. Who would turn down a golden finger?

His system was called the [Identity Swap System].

As the name implied, it allowed him to swap identities with someone. This "someone" could be anyone, regardless of gender, though they had to be around his age, as it could only bind to one person at a time.

As long as he used that person's identity to exert an influence that the System deemed significant, he would receive rewards.

For instance, if he used that identity to suppress others, his charisma would improve; if he consumed poison, his poison resistance would increase—provided, of course, that he could survive the poison.

Furthermore, it wasn't a permanent arrangement; they swapped every ten days, which was reasonably humane.

In short, it was a system designed to make him a show-off.

Ye Yang was speechless, but since it was here, he might as well use it. He'd treat it like a game; it wasn't his body, after all.

As for what the other person might do to his body, would anyone really be stupid enough to use someone else's body to commit suicide?

"System, where's my beginner's gift pack?" Ye Yang asked, shifting his posture to lie on his side.

He wouldn't forget the mandatory beginner's gift pack that came with every system.

[Ding! Beginner's gift pack opened--]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Emperor of Light Armor, now soul-bound to the Host.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the martial soul: Radiant Emperor War Dragon (Innate Level 30).]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one Marrow Cleansing Pill.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one opportunity for Heavenly Dao Manifestation.]

[Ding! Rewards have been distributed.]

Ye Yang was shocked as he looked at the rewards. Wait, what kind of system are you? What are these things? Are you sure you aren't an Armor System?

The Emperor of Light Armor was the ruler of the Light Universe and the origin of the five elements, while the Radiant Emperor War Dragon was its armor beast.

Before Ye Yang could speak, the System exerted its power again.

[Ding! In view of the System's late arrival, to compensate for the deficiencies of these past years, please choose:]

[One: Title Douluo-level soul power.]

[Two: One 100,000-year soul bone (user-selected slot).]

[Three: One 100,000-year soul ring (the most suitable soul ring).]

"So you do know you're late." Ye Yang was speechless, but seeing the compensation, he stopped complaining and scanned the rewards.

He passed on the first one immediately. He was going to be swapping bodies, so what use was that? It provided soul power, not the corresponding realm. With zero rings, the first option was the most useless.

As for the second, the 100,000-year soul bone, Ye Yang pondered and shook his head. No, that could be removed. If the person he swapped with was a villain, what if they ripped it out? He'd just be making wedding clothes for someone else.

That left only the third option. Soul bones could be removed, but soul rings could not. Moreover, a 100,000-year soul ring combined with the powerful Radiant Emperor War Dragon martial soul would make the person he swapped with wonder if they had transmigrated into someone truly extraordinary.

"I'll take the third one." Ye Yang made his decision.

Soon, a blood-red soul ring encircled by golden dragon patterns descended slowly onto him.

Products from the System were always top-tier; he didn't even need to waste time, as the System installed it for him.

Feeling the vigorous soul power surging within his body, Ye Yang fell silent for a moment before shaking his head quietly. "So this is what it feels like to be a soul master? Doesn't seem like much."

Immediately, he summoned his martial soul—the Radiant Emperor War Dragon.

Looking at the phantom hovering around his body, Ye Yang's eyes lit up. As expected of the armor beast of the Emperor Armor, which symbolized the Five Elements and Light, the appearance of the Radiant Emperor War Dragon perfectly matched his aesthetic.

"Cool," Ye Yang nodded in affirmation, then retracted his martial soul and looked up at the sun, silently chanting in his heart: "Emperor Armor, combine."

In an instant, a golden light shot down from the sun, enveloping Ye Yang. When the radiance faded, a golden figure was slowly revealed.

Tiger shoulders, mastiff back, rhinoceros legs, eagle hands, and a dragon head—five biological elements symbolizing the Five Elements combined to construct this armor, which was filled with the majesty of an emperor.

The scarlet visor added an even more solemn temperament to the armor. It was the emperor who ruled over everything, the master of heaven and earth, known as—the Emperor Armor.

Wearing the armor, Ye Yang felt the power within his body. One word—invincible! Invincible! It was just f***ing invincible!

This was the Emperor Armor, the armor that had "invincible" written all over its face.

"Whew~ that felt good. I never expected my childhood dream to be realized in this way. System, start the exchange." Ye Yang retracted the armor and let out a long breath, his eyes filled with emotion and lingering memories.

[Ding! Starting identity extraction...]

"Right, I almost forgot about this." Hearing the sound, Ye Yang suddenly remembered he still had a Marrow Cleansing Pill he hadn't taken yet, so he quickly took it out.

[Ding! Extraction complete—]

[Identity: Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire]

"Wait? Who?" Ye Yang had just swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill when he saw this identity and was suddenly stunned.

But before the system could reply, his vision went black and he lost consciousness.
