The Trials of Sun Ce is a test for Sun Ce by Yu Ji. The battle ends by Sun Ce killing Yu Ji but is cursed by the sorcerer and dies after the battle.

Role in Games
In Dynasty Warriors 5, the battle begins with a one-on-one match by Sun Ce and Yu Ji. After Yu Ji is defeated he will summon clones of himself that the player has to defeat. The third test now is battling new clones of Yu Ji while battling phantoms. The fourth test after is defeating newly hypnotized Wu soldiers. By defeating fifty of the soldiers, Yu Ji will once again appear with clones that the player has to defeat to get to the next test. The following test is activated after Yu Ji summons phantoms of Sun Ce's wife and father. After Sun Ce defeats the two phantoms Yu Ji will once again summon clones of himself. By defeating a few of them the real Yu Ji will appear and will power-up his clone each of the phantoms defeat.

Historical Information
Many historians reject the account of Yu Ji and Sun Ce, suggesting that it is propaganda or just fiction. Reasons for this include Yu Ji's previously recorded activities (which would have made Yu Ji quite old by the time he met Sun Ce). Only a select few historical texts mention Yu Ji being killed by Sun Ce.

In folklore, after Sun Ce's plot to attack Xu Chang failed, some people believe Sun Ce, at that time, met Yu Ji and killed him for spreading nonsense across his kingdom. While looking at the scar, he dealt in the plot against Xu Chang, in a mirror, Sun Ce saw a reflection of Yu Ji and panicked slamming himself in the mirror and opened the scar leading to the warlord's death.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms
In the novel, Yu Ji once walked around the Wu castle for a few days, talking with soldiers and civilians everywhere and made everyone believe he was a magician and healer. The leader of Wu at that time, Sun Ce, had heard of his magic and grew suspicious of this magician. Sun thought that he was putting spells on everyone. Soon he decided to kill Yu Ji. But killing the innocent Yu Ji cursed Sun Ce in his dreams and eventually led to his death.
