Douluo Dalu: Conch of the Returning Tide

The children of White Tide Village are all afraid of Black Tide Cliff, but Lin Che has listened to the tides there for three years.

On the day of his Martial Soul Awakening, he is identified as the rare tool-type Martial Soul, the Tidecall Conch. With an Innate Soul Power of level seven, he finally earns the chance to leave his seaside village. But when he returns home, his grandfather tells him that the Soul Awakening Office got it wrong.

The Martial Soul he awakened was not the Tidecall Conch, but the Returning Tide Bone Conch, the very same Martial Soul his mother once possessed.

Strange echoes lie hidden beneath Black Tide Cliff. His mother's whereabouts are a mystery, an old school badge points to Nohai City, and the person who recognizes the relic seems to have been waiting for many years.

From White Tide Village to Nohai Academy, from listening to the tides to drawing in energy to striding over the waves, a boy's journey begins with that third layer of the tide's song.
