The Inevitable Pain

Lin Yuan, in the middle of filming, had no idea someone had set their sights on him.

After kicking off the wall and making a long jump, he immediately rolled forward twice to dissipate the impact of landing, then got to his feet and kept sprinting.

The remaining two velociraptors unwillingly turned around and continued chasing Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan ran uphill, where the terrain grew increasingly rugged. Massive boulders two stories tall stood in his path.

If he went around beneath those boulders, his speed would inevitably drop, allowing the velociraptors to catch up.

So Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, accelerated into a sprint, and leaped forward with all his strength, quickly climbing onto the boulders one after another.

Then, to the astonishment of the entire crew, he dove forward...

Lin Yuan was moving at incredible speed. He pushed hard off the ground with both feet and launched himself into the air, flying from the top of one boulder to another.

If he did not want to detour beneath the boulders and lose speed, then he could only leap across their tops.

But the gap between the two boulders was more than seven meters!

The world record for the long jump was only 8.95 meters, and that was achieved with a full-force jump.

Yet Lin Yuan had to complete several long-distance jumps in succession. The difficulty was practically a challenge to the world record.

Lin Yuan stretched his body taut in midair, his movements smooth and filled with powerful beauty.

He landed successfully atop another boulder, braced himself with both hands, rolled, and maintained his high speed as he ran forward, leaping toward the next boulder.

One of the core movements in parkour was the roll, which used the motion to cushion the impact of landing.

What Lin Yuan displayed at that moment was a dive roll, a more advanced rolling technique.

His Master Parkour skills were not merely evident in how flawlessly beautiful his movements were, but also in the perfect way he linked them together and performed them continuously.

In just seven seconds, Lin Yuan completed four ultra-long-distance dive rolls, weaving across the tops of the boulder field.

If other parkour enthusiasts saw this sequence, they would surely be utterly awestruck and watch it on their knees.

"Oh! My God! I just saw a flying man."

"Once this footage is edited, it will definitely become the bible of parkour players!"

"After repeatedly enduring impacts of that intensity, are Lin's knees and ankles made of titanium alloy?"

"I believe it now. Maybe Easterners really do know qinggong."

The staff outside the set were dumbfounded. Although they had seen Lin Yuan's action-scene design before, those had merely been words on paper.

When those words became the relentless, wind-like young man before them on the filming set, the shock and visual impact they brought were naturally unparalleled.

Director Johnston stared intently at the camera feed. Lin Yuan continued running forward. After such a series of intense movements, he could still control his breathing steadily. His stamina was monstrously abundant.

After clearing the boulder field, Lin Yuan had not shaken off the pursuit of the two velociraptors.

After running a little farther, he slammed on the brakes—there was no path ahead. A sheer mountain wall blocked his way.

Watching the velociraptors draw closer, Lin Yuan took two steps back and immediately charged toward the mountain wall at high speed.

He pushed off with his left foot and leaped more than a meter into the air. Then his right foot followed, planting against the wall as his body sprang upward once more.

At the peak of his jump, Lin Yuan reached out with both hands, firmly grabbed the top edge of the wall, and quickly pulled himself up.

Scaling walls quickly was also a common parkour move, but when Lin Yuan used it, he was as nimble and swift as a cat. Before anyone could see the movement clearly, he had already scrambled up.

The two velociraptors chasing behind him could only howl helplessly at the mountain wall, which stood more than four meters high.

Finally safe, Lin Yuan was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he felt his footing give way.

The soil above the mountain wall was extremely loose. The moment he stepped on it, it gave way in a landslide...

The most dangerous part of this action scene had arrived. Director Johnston could not help rising to his feet.

The earlier parkour sequence certainly required tremendous skill, but even if it failed, they could simply shoot it again.

But for the next part, they could only pray that God would protect him.

Amid billowing dust, Lin Yuan rolled continuously down the dirt slope. Yet ahead of him was a cliff, with a drop of nearly eighteen meters.

Carried by the tremendous momentum, he could not stop at all and fell straight over the edge.

Fortunately, there was a large tree at the cliff's edge. Lin Yuan fell back-first onto an outstretched branch.

Crack!

Unfortunately, the branch could not absorb much of his falling force before snapping instantly.

Crack!

Another branch broke. Fortunately, this one was a little sturdier and reduced Lin Yuan's downward force considerably.

But his luck ended there. No more branches remained to stop him.

Thud!

Lin Yuan landed on his right shoulder and crashed heavily onto the yellow earth.

He felt as though someone had struck him hard with a club. Everything before his eyes darkened and kept spinning and swaying.

With difficulty, Lin Yuan lifted his head and saw Director Johnston rushing toward him with the emergency medical team.

Their mouths seemed to be shouting something, but Lin Yuan could not hear anything. All he heard was a ringing buzz in his ears.

His vision, hearing, and even sense of touch had greatly weakened. It was as if he were in a dream, overwhelmed by a strong sense of unreality.

Lin Yuan knew this was his body's numbing response after a sudden injury. If there was nothing seriously wrong, he would recover shortly.

By then, the emergency doctor had already rushed to his side, skillfully examining him while having an assistant attach various monitoring devices to Lin Yuan.

Director Johnston's eyes were filled with concern as he anxiously said something to the doctor.

But Lin Yuan froze as large swaths of golden system text appeared before his eyes:

Warning! Host has suffered a mild concussion!

Warning! Host has suffered a shoulder ligament strain!

Warning! There are three scratches on the back!

...

A string of injury warnings appeared, but fortunately, none of the injuries were too serious. The crew had an emergency medical team, and after treatment, there would be no lasting complications.

Once he learned that his injuries were not serious, the weight in his heart finally lifted.

The dangerous second half of today's scene paid tribute to Jackie Chan's film "Project A" and was somewhat similar to the scene where he fell from the clock tower.

But Lin Yuan's sequence was even more dangerous and even less controllable.

Fortunately, he completed it without any real danger. This sequence would undoubtedly become the film's greatest highlight.

Lin Yuan's confidence in Jurassic Park 3 defeating The Mummy Returns at the box office grew by a few more points.

Once the doctor announced that Lin Yuan was fine, the entire crew rushed over.

Everyone surrounded him and applauded excitedly. If Lin Yuan had not been injured, they would definitely have cheered and tossed him into the air.

"Your eyes are so red. Are you okay?"

"That sequence was absolutely incredible. I'm honored to have been part of filming it."

"Lin, do you know? You made me a fortune!"

"Are you even human? Go become a superhero and save the world!"

In truth, what the staff saw was only the surface. As outsiders, they could not easily perceive where Lin Yuan's true strength lay.

But Meng Tao, who had been closely monitoring the filming progress from the sidelines, understood very clearly.

He had followed Jackie Chan for ten years and participated in the filming of more than twenty movies. His experience and eye for action were both exceptional.

In his eyes, the strength, speed, skill, and even physical toughness Lin Yuan displayed were all far beyond those of an ordinary person.

Lin Yuan did not notice Meng Tao reassessing him. Having completed another action scene, he once again received a system reward:

Completed a C-level dangerous action scene. Received 2 Distributable Attributes.

Host has been injured for the first time in an action scene. As an action actor, this is pain you must endure. Additional reward: 1 attribute point!
