contents The entangled charge and spin dynamics in strongly electron correlated system has been a fruitful playground for exploring new physical phenomena. Here with resonant inelastic X-ray scattering we studied the spin dynamics of SrIrO$_3$, a half-filled paramagnetic semimetal hosting highly itinerant Dirac Fermions due to its topological band structure. Our results show that its magnetic excitations share much similarity to the ordered compounds upon Sn substitution in exchange strength and AFM instability, while the system maintains spin non-ordered. Further, the non-ordered pristine SrIrO$_3$ hosts even longer lifetime magnetic excitations near the AFM zone center comparing to the Sn substituted ordered compounds, contrary to general expectation. These observations indicate an interesting connection between band topology and electron correlation in SrIrO$_3$.
