When Cheng Zitong heard Chen Chuan ask this question, he thought for a moment and said, "Strictly speaking, it's very important. Going to Central City has always required a recommendation from the academy first, followed by approval from the Central Hospital. The recommendation is just an internal matter for the academy, but the approval is decided entirely by the Central Hospital. And a significant part of their review criteria is based on ability.
Even if you're one of the Recommended Students, you still have to prove your ability to get through. And how do you prove that ability? One way is through demonstrable martial skill, and the other is through the certificates you've earned.
You need to understand that unless the difference in skill is blatantly obvious, it's generally difficult for the reviewers to tell who is stronger. The academy's evaluation can only serve as a reference. Given that, the certificates a student has earned become a crucial judging standard.
